    A quarter horse power motor runs at a speed of 600 rpm. Assuming 40% efficiency, the work done by the motor in one rotation will be

    A)  7.46 J             

    B)  7400 J

    C)  7.46 erg           

    D)  74.6 J

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Motor makes 600 rotation per minute \[\therefore \] \[n=600\frac{rotation}{\min ute}=10\frac{rev}{\sec }\] \[\therefore \]Time required for one rotation \[=\frac{1}{10}s\] Energy required for one rotation = power\[\times \]time \[=\frac{1}{4}\times 746\times \frac{1}{10}\] \[=\frac{746}{40}J\] But work done = 40% of input \[=40%\times \frac{746}{40}=0.40\times \frac{746}{40}\] \[=7.46J\]
