Mechanics }Power
Recall the following basic formulas, , where is power, is current, is voltage, is force, and is velocity. , where is the efficiency, which relates work (and thus power).
The problem gives , , , , ---where all units are SI.
Thus . Solve for , as in choice (D).

Poop Loops 2008-09-23 21:04:09 | Not only did I think that you couldn't have a CoF > 1, since friction is only a retarding force, but I also thought "normal" meant "normal to the surface". I had no idea it was pushing parallel to the surface. I just didn't understand how a vertical force related to the parallel energy being released.
Apparently you CAN have CoF > 1, though. |  | Furious 2007-11-01 18:40:00 | Was I the only one who thought that you couldn't have a coefficient of friction greater than one? |  |
