What work is done on a level track in bringing the velocity of a train weighing 200 tons from zero to 30 mi/hr, if the frictional resistance at any velocity is 12 lb/ton, and if the change in speed is accomplished in a length 5280 ft? If the track were a 1% upgrade, what would be the additional work to be done?
