# A motor pulls a block of mass \(M\) up a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. The block moves up the ramp at a constant speed \(v\), and the motor delivers a power \(P_0\) to the block. The motor then pulls a different block of mass \(2M\) up the same ramp at a constant speed \(3v\). What is the power delivered by the motor to the second block in terms of \(P_0\)?

A motor pulls a block of mass \(M\) up a frictionless ramp inclined at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. The block moves up the ramp at a constant speed \(v\), and the motor delivers a power \(P_0\) to the block. The motor then pulls a different block of mass \(2M\) up the same ramp at a constant speed \(3v\). What is the power delivered by the motor to the second block in terms of \(P_0\)?

![A rectangular block of mass \(M\) sits on a right-triangular incline with an angle \(\theta\). A rope is attached to the block and pulled parallel to the incline surface toward the peak. A vector arrow labeled \(\vec{v}\) points up the incline.](https://nerd-notes.com/wp-content/uploads/ubq-frq-generated/stem-diagram-1-1774589207-yW7sLT.jpg)

- **A.** \(2P_0\)
- **B.** \(3P_0\)
- **C.** \(5P_0\)
- **D.** \(6P_0\)
