Ram and Ali are two friends. Both work in a factory. Ali uses a camel to transport the load within the factory. Due to low salary & degradation in health of camel, Ali becomes worried and meets his friend Ram and discusses his problem. Ram collected some data & with some assumptions concluded the following.

Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
(i)
W CL + W f =
KE
W CL =
KE – W f
During accelerated motion negative work is done against friction and there is also change is
kinetic energy. Hence network needed is +ve.
During uniform motion work is done against friction only and that is +ve.
During retarded motion, the load has to be stopped in exactly 50 metres. If only friction is
considered then the load stops in 12.5 metres which is less than where it has to stop.
Hence the camel has to apply some force so that the load stops in 50m (>12.5 m). Therefore
the work done in this case is also +ve.0
(ii) W CL | accelerated motion =
KE – W friction
where W CL is work done by camel on load.
= 
=
= 
similarly, W CL | retardation =
KE – W friction
– [µ k mg.50] = 
∴ 
=
=
⇒ 5 : 3
(iii) Maximum power = F max × V
Maximum force applied by camel is during the accelerated motion.

We have V 2 – U 2 = 2as
25 = 0 2 + 2.a.50
a = 0.25 m/s 2 ; for accelerated motion
F C – f = ma
F C = µmg + ma = 0.1×1000×10+1000×2.5
= 1000 + 250 = 1250 N
This is the critical point just before the point where it attains maximum velocity of almost 5 m/s.
Hence maximum power at this point is = 1250 × 5 = 6250 J/s.
