A car traveling at 30ms\(^{-1}\) overcomes a frictional resistance of 100N while moving. Calculate the power developed by the engine. [1 hp = 0.75 kW]

  • A. 0.23hp
  • B. 0.40hp
  • C. 4.00hp
  • D. 4.40hp

Correct Answer: C. 4.00hp

Explanation

P = FV = \(\frac{100 \times 30}{1000} = 3 kW\)

\(\frac{3}{0.75} = 4hp\)
