45. A 150 kg box is dragged 90 m down the sidewalk at constant velocity. What work is
done if the coefficient of sliding friction between the box and the pavement is 0.30?
Given:
m = 150 kg
d = 90 m
f = 0.30
Required:
Work, kj
Solution:
W =F x d x f
F=mxa

= (150 kg) x (9.81 m/s2 )

= 1471.5 N = 1.4715 kN
W = (1.4751 kN) x (90m) x (0.3)
W = 39.7305 kJ
46. An engine burns 12 liter of fuel each 15 minutes. The fuel has a specific gravity of
0.85, and a heating value of 45 MJ/kg. The engine has an efficiency of 35%. What is the
brake horsepower of the engine?
Given:
2L 1𝑚3 1min 1𝑚3
Vflowrate = 15min x 1000L x = 450 000s
60s
Density
SG = Densityoil/Densitywater ; .85 = 1000 kg/𝑚3

engine efficiency = 35 %
HV = 45 MJ/kg
Required:
Brake power, hp

Densityoil = 850 kg/𝑚3

mflowrate = Vflowrate x Densityoil
1𝑚3 17 kg
mflowrate = 450 000s 𝑥 850 kg/𝑚3 = 9000 s

efficiency = BP / IP
BP = efficiency x IP
17 kg 𝐽 1hp
IP = mflowrate x HV = 9000 s 𝑥 45000000 𝑘𝑔 x 746 W

IP = 113.9410188 hP
BP = IP x Efficiency = 113.9410188 hP x 0.35

BP = 39.8793565 hP
