Question

10. A 266-hp output is required for an engine. If there is a 5% loss of power, what amount of input

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of input horsepower needed is 279.3 hp.

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is a loss of power of 5% the base horsepower will need to be increased by same percentage so that same amount of power can be delivered.

Now to calculate 5% of 266 hp, we can write

266 ×$\frac{5}{100}$ = 13.3 hp

Now to deliver same amount of power we will have to add 5% of 266 hp to its actual power.

So real base power which is needed to deliver 266hp output even at a loss of 5% will be = (266+13.3) hp = 279.3 hp
