How can you produce more power than an excavator?

If the work done by us is greater than the excavator in the given time then we can produce more power than excavator.

Explanation:

Power is defined as work done per unit time. Let’s take an example:

Case I:

If we do 300J work in 2 seconds and excavator 500J work in the same time then:

Power produced by us = 300/2 = 150 watt

Power produced by excavator = 500/2 = 250 watt

In this case power produced by excavator is more than us.

Case II:

If we do 500J work in 2 seconds and excavator 300J work in the same time then:

Power produced by us = 500/2 = 250 watt

Power produced by excavator = 300/2 = 150 watt

In this case power produced by us is more than excavator.

Hence, If the work done by us is greater than the excavator in the given time then we can produce more power than excavator. But it is very difficult to believe in reality.
