Correct answer: B

  1. Given: A machine delivers constant power PPP to a box moving on a horizontal straight line.

  2. Use the relation between power and force: P=FvP = FvP=Fv where FFF is the pulling force and vvv is the speed.

  3. Relate force to acceleration: F=mdvdtF = m\frac{dv}{dt}F=mdtdv​ So, P=mdvdt⋅vP = m\frac{dv}{dt} \cdot vP=mdtdv​⋅v

  4. Rearrange the equation: mvdvdt=Pm v \frac{dv}{dt} = Pmvdtdv​=P v dv=Pm dtv\,dv = \frac{P}{m}\,dtvdv=mP​dt

  5. Integrate using the initial condition that the box starts from rest, i.e. v=0v=0v=0 at t=0t=0t=0: ∫0vv dv=Pm∫0tdt\int_0^v v\,dv = \frac{P}{m}\int_0^t dt∫0v​vdv=mP​∫0t​dt v22=Pmt\frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{P}{m}t2v2​=mP​t v=2Ptmv = \sqrt{\frac{2Pt}{m}}v=m2Pt​​

    Hence, v∝t1/2v \propto t^{1/2}v∝t1/2

  6. Now find displacement xxx: dxdt=v∝t1/2\frac{dx}{dt} = v \propto t^{1/2}dtdx​=v∝t1/2 Therefore, x∝∫t1/2dt∝t3/2x \propto \int t^{1/2} dt \propto t^{3/2}x∝∫t1/2dt∝t3/2

  7. Match with options: x∝t3/2x \propto t^{3/2}x∝t3/2 So the correct option is B.

Final Answer: t3/2\boxed{t^{3/2}}t3/2​
