ENGR5003 Lecture 2 student exercise 2 (slide 12)

Determine the power transmitted through the drive shaft of a car when the torque applied at the clutch is 250 N m250\ \mathrm{N\,m} and the shaft rotates at 6000 rpm.

Formulas you may need
  • Shaft work: dW=T dθdW = T\,d\theta (on the formula sheet, forms of mechanical work)
  • Shaft power: W˙=Tω=2πnT\dot W = T\omega = 2\pi n T with nn in rev/s (learn this)
