Question
A rope-brake dynamometer attached to the crank shaft of an I.C. engine measures a brake power of 10 kW when the speed of rotation of the shaft is 400 rad/s. The shaft torque (in N-m) sensed by the dynamometer is ________
Correct answer
24 to 26
Solution
Brake Power () is related to torque () and angular velocity () by the formula:Given:
Rearranging for torque:The calculated value is 25 N-m, which falls within the specified range of 24 to 26.
Rearranging for torque:The calculated value is 25 N-m, which falls within the specified range of 24 to 26.
