Ok , what I am trying to figure out is given the amount of watts or voltage and current... someway to determine the equivalant mechanical force...
For example say I can lift 300lbs = 1334.46 Newtons
What is the electrical equivalent lifting this much weight one foot?
So I guess what I am saying is what is the electrical equivalent of
300ft-lbs?
I know work is measured in energy which is joules = 1N*m = 1W*s
But I don't know what 1Watt -second looks like (no frame of reference)
Like for a 60watt light bulb is it being supplied with 60watts each second or more or less....
In terms of RMS the ac is the equivalent steady dc so I would think 60watt bulb gets supplied 60watts a second which means 60watt-seconds =60 joules and from their convert it into foot-lbs
=> 44.253 ft-lbs which means powering a light bulb for one second is the equivalent of lifting 44.253 lbs one foot.
Correct me if I am wrong
Does seem a bit much just to power a light bulb for a second????
Thanks for any help or clarity with this question
