Answer : The speed of motor will be, 2.76 m/s

Solution : Given,

Power of motor =
5.8* 10^4watt

Force =
2.1* 10^4N

Formula used :


Power=Force* Velocity\\\\Velocity=(Power)/(Force)

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the speed of motor.


Velocity=(Power)/(Force)=(5.8* 10^4watt)/(2.1* 10^4N)=2.76m/s

Therefore, the speed of motor will be, 2.76 m/s

The formula for power is used to solve for the speed. Given are P = 5.8x10^4 W and W = 2.1 x10^4 N = F. Formula: v =P / F this would result to v = 5.8 x10^4 W / 2.1x10^4 N = 2.76 m/s. I hope this helps you
