A train of mass 2×105 kg2 \times 10^5 \text{ kg} is moving up an inclined track (where sin⁡θ=0.01\sin\theta = 0.01) with a constant speed of 15 m s−115 \text{ m s}^{-1}. The frictional resistance offered by the track is 5000 N5000 \text{ N}. The power delivered by the train's engine is:
(Take g=10 m s−2g = 10 \text{ m s}^{-2})

Options

  1. A300 kW300 \text{ kW}
  2. B225 kW225 \text{ kW}
  3. C375 kW375 \text{ kW}
  4. D75 kW75 \text{ kW}

Correct answer

C. 375 kW375 \text{ kW}

Step-by-step solution

Mass of the train, m=2×105 kgm = 2 \times 10^5 \text{ kg}

Speed of the train, v=15 m s−1v = 15 \text{ m s}^{-1}

Frictional resistance, f=5000 Nf = 5000 \text{ N}

Component of weight down the incline, W∥=mgsin⁡θW_{\parallel} = mg \sin\theta

W∥=(2×105)×10×0.01=20000 NW_{\parallel} = (2 \times 10^5) \times 10 \times 0.01 = 20000 \text{ N}

Since the train is moving with a constant speed, the net force is zero. The force exerted by the engine must balance the downward forces.

F=W∥+fF = W_{\parallel} + f

F=20000+5000=25000 NF = 20000 + 5000 = 25000 \text{ N}

Power delivered by the engine is given by:

P=F×vP = F \times v

P=25000×15=375000 W=375 kWP = 25000 \times 15 = 375000 \text{ W} = 375 \text{ kW}

Answer: 375 kW375 \text{ kW}
