Q.7. Locomotive requires to exert constant force of
Force required to be exerted
Additional force is required to accelerate the train. We know that rate of change of speed is acceleration. Using Newton's Second Law of motion and inserting values in SI units we get
F=ma
F=30000×0.5=15000N
Total force required
17.04kN
Q. 8. We know that
Power=work donetime taken ......(1)
Work done
W=Force×Distance .....(2)
Also
Force=mg ......(3)
wherem is mass of object andg is acceleration due to gravity,=9.8ms−2
Inserting values in equation (1) in SI units we get
Power=30000×9.8×240.5×60×60
Power=70560001800=3920W
3.92kW
Q. 9. Centrifugal force
Fc=mrω2 ......(1)
It is given that mass revolves about a point 2 meters from its centre of gravity.
Units of
Mass revolves at a speed of 60 revolutions per minute.
One revolution is equal to
Hence
Inserting values in (1) we get
Fc=5×2×(2π)2
⇒Fc=394.8N , rounded to one decimal place.
