Calculate the amount of torque and power needed on an inclined plane

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the torque and power needed to move a car uphill on a 30-degree incline, the force equation is established as f - mgsin(30) = ma, ignoring friction. The acceleration is derived from the equation vf = vi + at, leading to a = v/10. The discussion emphasizes the need to express the force in terms of torque and total work done. Participants are encouraged to clarify relevant equations related to torque and power. The calculations aim to determine the necessary parameters to achieve a specified final velocity within 10 seconds.

Homework Statement
Calculate the amount of torque and power needed to move a car uphill
from rest on a 30-degree inclination and reach a certain final velocity in time
less than 10 seconds
Relevant Equations
car wheel radius = r
mass of car = m
initial velocity = 0
final velocity = v

Torque = Force x Radius
Power = Work/time = Force x Velocity = Torque x Angular Velocity
I have calculated the force equation on the x-plane which is f - mgsin(30) - friction force = ma
and from the equation vf = vi + at resulting a = v/10

Per forum rules (Homework Help Guidelines for Students and Helpers) you must show some attempt.
Please also try to complete the Relevant Equations section. What equations have you been taught in connection with torque and power?

You are not told anything about friction, so ignore that.
From the above you can get an expression for the force. What torque does that lead to?
What total work is done?
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
