<PRE><B>Question 763333</B>
T = Time
W = Weight
D = Distance
P = Power
T = (k*W*D)/P
k = constant of variation
To find k use information given.
30 = (k*100*50)/10
30 = 5000k/10
30 = 500k
k = 30/500
k = 3/50 = 0.06
Formula:
T = (0.06*W*D)/P
40 = (0.06*800*40)/P
40 = 1920/P
P = 1920/40
P = 48 HP
Hope this helps.
