13. An object of mass 24 kg is accelerated up a frictionless plane inclined at an angle of 37° with the horizontal by a constant force. Starting at the bottom from the rest, it covers a distance of 18m in 3.0secs. Given: m = 24 kg, = 37^, v_0 = 0 m/s, d = 18 m, t = 3.0 s. Assume g = 9.8 m/s^2. Step 1: Calculate acceleration (a) and final velocity (v_f). d = v_0 t + (1)/(2) a t^2 18 = 0 · 3 + (1)/(2) a (3)^2 18 = 4.5a a = (18)/(4.5) = 4.0 m/s^2 v_f = v_0 + at v_f = 0 + (4.0)(3.0) = 12 m/s Step 2: Calculate the applied force (F_app). The net force along the incline is F_net = ma. The forces are the applied force and the component of gravity along the incline (mg). F_app - mg = ma F_app = ma + mg = (24 kg)(4.0 m/s^2) + (24 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(37^) F_app = 96 N + 235.2 N · 0.6018 ≈ 96 N + 141.56 N = 237.56 N a) What is the average power required to accomplish the process? Step 3: Calculate the work done (W) and average power (P_avg). W = F_app · d = (237.56 N)(18 m) = 4276.08 J P_avg = (W)/(t) = 4276.08 J3.0 s = 1425.36 W The average power is 1.43 × 10^3 W. b) What is the instantaneous power required at the end of the 3.0 second interval? Step 4: Calculate the instantaneous power (P_inst). P_inst = F_app · v_f = (237.56 N)(12 m/s) = 2850.72 W The instantaneous power is 2.85 × 10^3 W. 14. A body is pulled along a horizontal force of 20N, calculate the work done in moving a distance of 40m. Given: F = 20 N, d = 40 m. Step 1: Calculate the work done (W). W = F · d W = (20 N)(40 m) = 800 J The work done is 800 J. 15. What is the velocity ratio of an inclined plane of length 6m if the higher end of the plane is 2m above the ground? Given: Length of inclined plane L = 6 m, Height h = 2 m. Step 1: Calculate the velocity ratio (VR). VR = Length of inclineVertical height VR = 6 m2 m = 3 The velocity ratio is 3. 16. A machine of efficiency of 70% is used to raise a body of mass 80kg through a vertical distance of 3m in 40 seconds. Calculate the power input. (Take g = 10 m/s²) Given: = 70\% = 0.70, m = 80 kg, h = 3 m, t = 40 s, g = 10 m/s^2. Step 1: Calculate the work output (W_out). W_out = mgh = (80 kg)(10 m/s^2)(3 m) = 2400 J Step 2: Calculate the power output (P_out). P_out = W_outt = 2400 J40 s = 60 W Step 3: Calculate the power input (P_in). = P_outP_in P_in = P_out P_in = 60 W0.70 ≈ 85.71 W The power input is 85.7 W. 17.

Given: Load F_L = 800 N, Effort F_E = 250 N, Wheel radius R_W = 800 mm = 0.8 m, Axle radius R_A = 200 mm = 0.2 m. Step 1: Calculate the Mechanical Advantage (MA). MA = (F_L)/(F_E) = 800 N250 N = 3.2 Step 2: Calculate the Velocity Ratio (VR). VR = (R_W)/(R_A) = 0.8 m0.2 m = 4 Step 3: Calculate the efficiency (). = (MA)/(VR) × 100\% = (3.2)/(4) × 100\% = 0.8 × 100\% = 80\% The efficiency of the machine is 80\%. 18.
