Ram and Ali have been fast friends since childhood. Ali neglected studies and now has no means to earn money other than a camel whereas Ram has become an engineer. Now both are working in the same factory. Ali uses camel to transport the load within the factory.
Due to low salary and degradation in health of camel, Ali becomes worried and meets his friends Ram and discusses his problems. Ram collected some data and with some assumptions concluded the following:
i. The load used in each trip is 1000 kg and has friction coefficient μk = 0.1 and μs = 0.2.
ii. Mass of camel is 500 kg.
iii. Load is accelerated for first 50 m with constant acceleration, then it is pulled at a constant speed of 5ms−1 for 2 km and at last stopped with constant retardation in 50 m.
iv. From biological data, the rate of consumption of energy of camel can be expressed as P=18X103v+104js−1 where P is the power and v is the velocity of the camel. After calculations on different issues, Ram suggested proper food, speed of camel, etc.to his friend. For the welfare of Ali, Ram wrote a letter to the management to increase his salary.
(Assuming that the camel exerts a horizontal force on the load):
Sign of work done by the camel on the load during parts of motion: accelerated motion, uniform motion and retarded motion, respectively are
