  • A 2.56 x 106N
  • B 2.50 x 106N
  • C 2.80 x 103N
  • D 2.50 x 103N
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In terms of dimension: power , P, = ML2T3
Force F1 = MLT-2; Vel, V, LT-1
From the above, => P = F x V
i.e, ML2T-3 = MLT-2 x LT-1
ML2T-3
=> 80,000 = F x 32∴ F = 80,000
32




= 2500N
= 2.50 x 103N
