Torque is the rotational analog of force and angular velocity is the rotational analog of velocity: P = τω Convert the given angular velocity to SI units (radians per second): 1000 RPM = 1000rev/min(2πrad/1.00rev)(1.00mim/60.0s) = 105rad/s Then the power generated is: P = 310N∙m(105rad/s) = 32600W (about 44 horsepower). Hope this helps.<a href="http://www.doggydisease.com/dog-disease-symptom.htm"> Algol</a> Just as power equals force times velocity, it also equals torque times angular velocity. Torque is the rotational analog of force and angular velocity is the rotational analog of velocity:

P = τω

Convert the given angular velocity to SI units (radians per second):

1000 RPM = 1000rev/min(2πrad/1.00rev)(1.00mim/60.0s)
= 105rad/s

Then the power generated is:

P = 310N∙m(105rad/s)
= 32600W (about 44 horsepower).

Hope this helps. Algol
