To solve these problems, we need to consider the forces acting on the truck. The total resisting force can be divided into two components: rolling friction and air resistance.
First, let's find the total force acting on the truck when it is traveling at a constant velocity of 60.0 km/h on a level road. We know that the power transmitted to the driving wheels is 28.0 kW (or 37.5 hp). We also know that power is equal to force times velocity. Therefore, we can calculate the force:
Force = Power / Velocity
For the given velocity of 60.0 km/h, we can convert it to m/s by multiplying by (1000 m/3600 s):
Velocity = 60.0 km/h x (1000 m/3600 s) = 16.7 m/s
Now we can calculate the force:
Force = 28.0 kW / 16.7 m/s = 1.68 kN (kilonewtons)
Next, let's determine the force of rolling friction and air resistance separately. We are given that 65% of the resisting force is due to rolling friction, therefore:
Rolling Friction Force = 65% of Total Force = 0.65 x 1.68 kN = 1.092 kN
The remainder, which is 35%, is due to air resistance. We are also given that air resistance is proportional to the square of the speed. This means that the air resistance force can be expressed as:
Air Resistance Force = C x Velocity^2
Where C is a constant.
To find C, we can use the fact that the total force at 60.0 km/h is equal to the sum of the rolling friction force and air resistance force:
Total Force = Rolling Friction Force + Air Resistance Force
1.68 kN = 1.092 kN + C x (16.7 m/s)^2
Rearranging the equation:
C = (1.68 kN - 1.092 kN) / (16.7 m/s)^2
Now we have determined C, the constant for air resistance.
1. To find the power required to drive the truck at 30.00 km/h, we follow the same process:
Convert velocity to m/s: 30.00 km/h x (1000 m/3600 s) = 8.33 m/s
Calculate the force:
Force = 1.092 kN + C x (8.33 m/s)^2
Finally, calculate the power:
Power = Force x Velocity
2. To find the power required in horsepower at 30.0 km/h, we use the same process as in question 1. The only difference is that we need to convert the power from kilowatts to horsepower. Recall that 1 hp = 0.7457 kW.
3. To find the power required to drive the truck at 120.0 km/h, we again follow the same process:
Convert velocity to m/s: 120.0 km/h x (1000 m/3600 s) = 33.3 m/s
Calculate the force:
Force = 1.092 kN + C x (33.3 m/s)^2
Finally, calculate the power:
Power = Force x Velocity
4. To find the power required in horsepower at 120.0 km/h, we use the same process as in question 3 and convert the power from kilowatts to horsepower.
Please follow the steps outlined above to calculate the power required for questions 1 to 4.
