Mechanics }Power
Recall the following basic formulas,  , where  is power,  is current,  is voltage,  is force, and  is velocity.  , where  is the efficiency, which relates work (and thus power).
The problem gives  ,  ,  ,  ,  ---where all units are SI.
Thus  . Solve for  , as in choice (D).

2008-09-23 21:04:09 | Not only did I think that you couldn't have a CoF > 1, since friction is only a retarding force, but I also thought "normal" meant "normal to the surface". I had no idea it was pushing parallel to the surface. I just didn't understand how a vertical force related to the parallel energy being released.
Apparently you CAN have CoF > 1, though.

No, the normal force IS normal to the surface. It's the force of friction that's pushing parallel to the surface.
The force of friction (parallel to the surface) is directly related to the normal force (normal to the surface). An intuitive way to think about this is if you lift the sander off of the surface (normal force = 0), the frictional force goes away. If you push down really hard (normal force increases), the frictional force increases.
