Question

26: Power required to propel a vehicle is expressed as
2815263143
RV/3600 (kw)
RVITOOD (kw)
RV/1800(kw)
RV/2000(kw)​

Answer 1

Power for propulsion =$\frac{RV}{3600}$

SOLUTION:

• The motion of a vehicle on road is resisted by various factors such as wind resistance and road resistance.
• A moving vehicle has to overcome these resistances and also lift the weight of vehicle, hence comes power for propulsion.
• This power is given by $\frac{RV}{3600}$ ,where R is total resistance and V is speed of vehicle in kilometer per hour.
• The unit of this power is kilowatt.
• A moving vehicle must overcome these resistances and produce this amount of power to propel forward in any direction.
