Homework Statement



The question provides three equations:

Work = Torque x Angle (angle must be in radians).
Power = Work/Time.
As for linear measures, power can also be calculated as Power = Torque x Angular Velocity (where velocity is in rad/s).

Using the data given, calculate the Power produced by the Quads at an angular velocity of 180 degrees/s. Give your answer to the nearest whole number (no decimal) and DO NOT include the units.

Data: at 180 degres/s, quad torque = 118 Nm.

Homework Equations



Power = Torque x Angular Velocity
P = T x w

The Attempt at a Solution



Power = Torque x Angular Velocity
P = T x w
P = 118 x 180 degrees/s.
P = 21 240.

To find radians, 21 240/57.3 = 370.68 P as radians/s.

Does this sound correct? Please help! :)
