What power is consumed by the machine when driving at a speed of 10 m / s, if the traction force is 10 kN?

The given tasks: V (speed of the considered machine) = 10 m / s; F (pulling force) = 10 kN (10 * 10 ^ 3 N).

The power that the machine under consideration will consume is calculated by the formula: N = F * V.

Let’s calculate: N = 10 * 10 ^ 3 * 10 = 100 * 10 ^ 3 W = 100 kW.

Answer: When driving, the machine in question will consume 100 kW of power.
