A particle of mass m is driven by a machine that delivers a constant power of k watts. If the particle starts from rest the force on the particle at time t is
- √mk t⁻¹/²
- √2mk t⁻¹/²
- √m/k t⁻¹/²
- mk t⁻¹/²
Correct answer: √2mk t⁻¹/²
Solution
The power delivered is constant, so P = Fv. Since the particle starts from rest, its velocity increases with time. Using the relation P = Fv and v = (2Pt/m)^(1/2), we find F = P/v = √(2mk)/t^(1/2). Thus, the correct option is B.
