A vehicle needs an engine of 7500 watt to keep it moving with a constant velocity of 20 m/sec on a horizontal surface. The force resisting the motion is :

a
375 dyne
b
375 newton
c
150000 dyne
d
150000 newton

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Since the vehicle moves with constant velocity, its engine power is consumed completely to overcome forces resisting the vehicle's motion.Hence, Fv=P  ⇒  F=Pv=750020=375 N.
