A farmer uses a tractor to pull a 150kg bale of hay up a 15 incline to the barn at a steady 5.0km/h. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the bale and the ramp is 0.45. What is the tractor鈥檚 power output?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tractor's power output is1.4kW.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

The power output of the force pulling an object at a steady speed is given by dot product of force vector and velocity vector is

P=F.vP=Fvcos

Draw the free body diagram

Here, the pulling force applied by the driver is F in the direction upward along the incline. Normal force inclined on bail is N acting perpendicular to incline. Gravitational force on bail is mg.

Coefficient of friction is f, and friction coefficient isK.

Angle of inclination isand bale is moving at a constant velocity v.

Component of force of gravity along the incline is mgsinand Component of force of gravity normal the incline ismgcos

02

Content Explanation

Newton's second law of motion if object is moving at a constant velocity net force must be zero.

Fnet=0

Net force normal to incline is zero.

N=mgcos

Here, net force along the incline is zero.

F=f=mgsin=0

Rearrange the above equation

role="math" localid="1647802991645" F=f+mgsin..........(1)

Friction force is f given as

f=KN................(2)

Substitute mgcosfor N in equation (2)

f=Kmgcos

Substitute this value in equation (1)

F=Kmgcos+mgsin..................(3)

Power output of tractor is

P=FvcosP=mg(Kcos+sinvcos..............(4)

Force and velocity are in same direction so =0

P=(150kg)(9.8m/s2)(0.45cos15+sin15(5.0km/hr)(cos0P=1415.87W(1KW103W)P=1.4kW

When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, nearly all the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of the air. Model a cyclist as having cross-section area 0.45m2 and, because the human body is not aerodynamically shaped, a drag coefficient of 0.90.
