Problem

Every second, a material of mass μ\mu falls vertically onto a moving horizontal conveyor belt and falls away at its end. A resistive force Fodp=kvF_{\mathrm{odp}}=kv, which is directly proportional to the belt speed vv through the constant kk, acts on the belt. At what speed does thevbelt move if a constant driving force FF acts on it? it is driven by a motor of constant output power PP?
