Answer

$(a)\space 195.6\space W$ $(b)\space 3320\space J$ $(c)\space 227.7\space W, 3864\space J$

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. (a) Here we use the equation $P=FV$ to find the power needed, where P- Power, F- Applied force, V- speed of the object. First of all, let's find the applied force on the object. $\rightarrow F=ma$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $F-F_{f}= m(0)$ $F=F_{f}=\mu R=0.612\times 84.5g$ $F=506.8\space N$ $P=FV$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $*P=506.8\space N\times0.386\space m/s=195.6\space W$ (b) Let's apply equation $W=FS$ to find the work done. $*W= 506.8\space N\times 6.55\space m= 3320\space J$ (c) Please see figure (b) of the image Let's apply equation $F=ma$ to the object. $\angle5.75^{\circ} \nearrow F=ma$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $F-F_{s}-84.8gsin5.75^{\circ}=0$ $F=\mu\times84.5\times g\times cos5.75^{\circ}+84.8\times g\times sin5.75^{\circ}$ $F=84.5\space kg\times9.8\space m/s^{2}(0.612\times1+0.1)$ $F=590\space N$ $P=FV$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $*P=590\space N\times0.386\space m/s=227.7\space W$ Let's apply equation $W=FS$ to find the work done. $*W=590\space N\times 6.55\space m= 3864\space J$
