A bus weighing 100 quintals moves on a rough road with a constant speed of 72km/h. The friction of the road is 9% of its weight and that of air is 1% of its weight. What is the power of the engine. Take g = 10m/s 2
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Weight of a bus = mass × × g
Total friction force = 10% of weight = 10 4 N
∴ ∴ Power = Force × × velocity
