An ox can apply a maximum force of 1000N. It is taking part in a cart race and is able to pull the cart at a constant speed of 30m/s-1 while making its best effort. Calculate the power developed by the ox.
An ox can apply a maximum force of 1000N. It is taking part in a cart race and is able to pull the cart at a constant speed of 30m/s-1 while making its best effort. Calculate the power developed by the ox.

Solutions:

According to the question –

Force is 1000 N

Velocity is 30 m/s

Expression for power is –

P = force × velocity = 1000 × 30 = 30,000W

Power = 30 kW
