Question

The engine of an aircraft propeller delivers an amount of power 177 hp to the propeller at a rotational velocity of 2360 rev/min.

how much torque does the aircraft engine provide? express your answer in newton-meters.

Answer 1

The torque provided by the aircraft engine is 533.1 N·m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the torque provided by the aircraft engine, we can use the formula:

Torque = Power / Angular Velocity

Given that the power is 177 hp and the angular velocity is 2360 rev/min, we need to convert the power to watts and the angular velocity to rad/s:

177 hp = 177 * 746 W = 131742 W

2360 rev/min = 2360 * 2π / 60 rad/s = 247.25 rad/s

Now we can calculate the torque:

Torque = 131742 W / 247.25 rad/s = 533.1 N·m
