    A body is moved from rest along a straight line by a machine delivering constant power. The distance moved by the body in time t is proportional to

    A)  \[{{t}^{1/2}}\]                                  

    B)  \[{{t}^{3/4}}\]

    C)  \[{{t}^{3/2}}\]                                  

    D) \[{{t}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Power   \[P=\frac{dW}{dt}=\frac{F.ds}{dt}\]     ( \[\therefore \] \[dW=F.ds\]) \[=m\frac{dv}{dt}.\frac{ds}{dt}\] \[=\frac{mvdv}{dt}\] \[\therefore \] P is constant, say K then  \[\frac{mvdv}{dt}=K\] or            \[mvdv=Kdt\] Integrating, we get                 \[=\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{2}=Kt+c\] Using boundary condition \[c=o\] So,          \[\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{2}=Kt\] or            \[v=\sqrt{2\frac{Kt}{m}}\] or            \[\frac{ds}{dt}=\sqrt{\frac{2Kt}{m}}\] or            \[ds=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}.{{t}^{1/2}}dt\] On integrating, we get                 \[s=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}\frac{2}{3}{{t}^{3/2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[s\propto {{t}^{3/2}}\]
