What is the power of a tractor if at a speed of 36 km / h its tractive force is 60,000 N?

As we know from the school curriculum in physics, the power of the engine with uniform motion can be calculated using the product of the thrust force and the speed.

Let’s translate the speed of the tractor, which is written in the condition of the problem, from km / h to m / s:

36 km / h = 36 * 1000: 3600 = 10 m / s.

Let us determine what the engine power of a given tractor will equal, when from the condition of the task we know that, moving at a designated speed, its traction force is 60,000 N:

60,000 * 10 = 600,000.

Answer: 600,000 W.
