The fluid transmission of a 15-Mg truck allows the engine to deliver an essentially constant power of 50 kW to the driving wheels. Determine the time required and the distance traveled as the speed of the truck is increased ( a) from 36 km/h to 54 km/h, (b) from 54 km/h to 72 km/h.
(a) A 120-lb woman rides a 15-lb bicycle up a 3-percent slope at a constant speed of 5 ft/s. How much power must be developed by the woman? (b) A 180-lb man on an 18-lb bicycle starts down the same slope and maintains a constant speed of 20 ft/s by braking. How much power is dissipated by the brakes? Ignore air resistance and rolling resistance.
A locomotive exerts a constant force of 200,000 lbs on a set of series-connected railroad cars weighing 5,000,000 lbs and having a total axle friction and rolling resistance of 2,000 lbs. The train travels up a ramp inclined at 20 with an initial velocity of 5 ft/s from point A to point B as shown. The distance from A to B is one mile. Determine the power delivered by the locomotive when it has reached point B.
