Question

A 240-hp automobile engine delivers only 174 hp to the driving wheels of the car. What is the efficiency of the transmission and drive mechanism?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

To find the efficiency of the transmission and drive mechanism, we have to divide the output power by the input power and multiply by 100.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} (174)/(240)*100 \\ 72.5\% \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
