A block of mass 5 kg starting from rest pulled up on a smooth incline plane making an angle of 30° with horizontal with an effective acceleration of 1 m s-2. The power delivered by the puling force at t=10 s from the start is _____ W.
[Use g=10 m s-2]
(Calculate the nearest integer value)

Solution

Let's consider the following free-body diagram:

From the above diagram, it can be written that

F-mgsin30°=ma   ...1

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) and solve to calculate the force applied on the block.

F-50 sin30°=5×1F=5+25 N=30 N

The velocity of the block v at t=10 s can be written as

v=0+1 m s-2×10 s=10 m s-1

Hence, the required power is given by

P=Fv= 30 N×10 m s-1= 300 W
