Question:

It takes a force of S3 kN on the lead car of a 16-car passenger train with mass 9.1 X 10' kg to poll it at a constant 45 m/s (WI mi/h) on level tracks.
(a) What power must the locomotive provide to the lead car?
(b) How much more power to the lead car than calculated in part (a) would be needed to give the train an acceleration of I.S m/s2, at the instant that the train has a speed of 45 m/s on level tracks?
(c) How much more power to the lead car than that calculated in part (a) would be needed to move the train up a I.S% grade (slope angle a = arctan 0.01S) at a constant 45m/s?
