    Finding the force on a shaft when given Watts - shaft design

    I think I found my error, I need to use rad/s not hz. so 300 rpm = 31.42 rad/s 31.42*X=1500W X = 47.7 N*m But I thought hz is 1/s so when you multiply it by watts it would cancel out the seconds and give you N*m, why does this not work?
