ANSWER:

Solution 30E Step 1: Data given Power P = 175 hp P = 130497 watts Velocity = 2400 rev /min = (2400 rev/min × 60) × 2/1rev = 251.33 rad/s We need to find the torque provided by the engine We know P = Rearranging the equation we get = P/ Substituting values we get = 130497 watts/251.33 rad/s = 519.2 Nm Hence the torque of the aircraft engine is 519.2 Nm
