Determine the torque applied to the shaft of a car that transmits 225 hp and rotates at a rate of 3000 rpm.

Answer:

Torque=0.51 Btu

Explanation:

Given Data

Power=225 hp

Revolutions =3000 rpm

To find

T( torque )=?

Solution

As

$T(Torque)=\frac{W(Work)}{2\pi n(Revolutions) }$

As force moves an object through a distance, work is done on the object. Likewise, when a torque rotates an object through an angle, work is done.

So

$T=\frac{225*42.207}{2\pi 3000}\\ T=0.51 Btu$
