7.15 To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of 200 rad s-1, an engine needs to transmit a torque of 180 N m. What is the power required by the engine ?
(Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100% efficient.

Angular speed of the rotor, = 200 rad/s
Torque, = 180 Nm
Power required, P = x = 180 x 200 = 36 x103 W = 36 kW
