Question

The torque required to turn the crank on an ice cream maker is 4.50 Nm. How much work does it take to turn the crank through 300 full turns?

A) 4240 J
B) 8480 J
C) 2120 J
D) 1350 J
E) 2700 J

Answer 1

B) 8480 J

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The work required to turn the Crank in on turn is

W = 2πT................ Equation 1

Where W = work, T = torque.

Given: T = 4.50 Nm, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 1

W = 4.5(2)(3.14)

W = 28.26 J per turn.

For 300 full tern,

W = 28.26×300

W = 8476 J

Hence,

W≈ 8480 J.

The right answer is B) 8480 J
