Time?

aravindg · Answer

Power is rate of doing work. Now work=Force*displacement

Power=Force*displacement/time

anonymous · Answer

If we want to describe work, we must have

haha..Physics instincts!

anonymous · Answer

One similarity between work and power is that in order to calculate both you must know

aravid do yuo know alot about geometry

aravindg · Answer

Yeah I can try. Post them in mathematics section.

why not here

aravindg · Answer

This section is only for Physics questions.
