Find constant speed using mass and power

AI Thread Summary
To find the constant speed of a forklift lifting a 613.0 kg mass with a power output of 950 W, the relationship between power, work, and force is utilized. The equations P = W/Δt and W = Fapp*Δd are key to solving the problem. By recognizing that the gravitational force (Fg = mg) acts on the mass, the power can be expressed as P = (mg * Δd) / Δt. Rearranging this leads to the conclusion that speed (v) can be isolated and calculated. The problem is ultimately solved by applying these principles correctly.

Find constant speed using mass and power [SOLVED]

Homework Statement


A 613.0 kg mass is placed on a forklift that can generate 950 W of power. What is the constant speed of the forklift while lifting this load?


Homework Equations


P = W/▲t
W=Fapp*▲d
Fg=mg


The Attempt at a Solution


I am not sure where to go from here, I can't rearrange P = W/▲t to solve for t without having work. I can't find W=Fapp*▲d without d or by rearranging P. I can't find d with the variables given or by rearranging W. Any help is appreciated!

P=(Fapp*▲d)/▲t
P=((mg)*▲d/▲t)

note v=▲d/▲t
insert values and isolate for v

Thanks! Can't believe I overlooked that. Question is solved
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
