Question

derive an expression to find power in terms of force and velocity

Open in App
Solution

The power at a particular instant of time t is the ratio of small work done(dW) to the small time interval (dt) around t,i.e.,
P = dW/dt
Now, dW = F.ds, where F is the force applied and ds is the small displacement.
P=F.dsdtBut dsdt=vSo, P=F.v
