### Problem Statement

The position vector of a particle is given by:

\[ \mathbf{r} = 11t\mathbf{i} + 2.0t^2\mathbf{j} - 0.9(t^3 - 5)\mathbf{k} \]

where \( t \) is the time in seconds from the start of the motion and \(\mathbf{r}\) is expressed in meters. 

For the condition when \( t = 4 \) seconds, determine the power \( P \) developed by the force:

\[ \mathbf{F} = 36\mathbf{i} - 21\mathbf{j} - 46\mathbf{k} \, \text{N} \]

which acts on the particle.

### Solution

Answer: \( P \) = \[ \underline{\makebox[3cm]{}} \] kW

### Explanation

To determine the power \( P \) developed by the force on the particle, follow these steps:

1. **Find the velocity vector \(\mathbf{v}\) by differentiating the position vector \(\mathbf{r}\) with respect to time \( t \).**

\[ \mathbf{v} = \frac{d\mathbf{r}}{dt} \]

2. **Evaluate the velocity vector \(\mathbf{v}\) at \( t = 4 \) seconds.**

3. **Calculate the instantaneous power \( P \) using the formula:**

\[ P = \mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{v} \]

Here, \( \cdot \) represents the dot product of the force vector and the velocity vector.

4. **Convert the power to kilowatts (kW) if necessary.**
