In Problem 15.123, suppose that the acceleration of the locomotive as it accelerates from zero to 60 mi/h is (F0/m)(1 –v/88), where F0 = 135,000 lb. m is the mass of the locomotive, and v is its velocity in feet per second.

(a) How much work is done in accelerating the train to 60 mi/h?


(b) Determine the locomotive’s velocity as a function of time.
