Compute the torque developed by an airplane engine

AI Thread Summary
The torque developed by the airplane engine is calculated to be approximately 5,937 N·m using the formula torque = power / angular velocity. A drum with a diameter of 0.5 m can lift a weight of about 23,748 N when the engine's power output is utilized. To determine the lifting speed, the relationship v = r * ω is applied, where r is the radius of the drum and ω is the angular velocity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly applying these formulas to solve the problems. Clarification on part (c) is sought, indicating a need for further assistance with the calculations.

(a)Compute the torque developed by an airplane engine whose output is 2000hp at an angular velocity of 2400 rev/min. (b) If a drum of negligible mass, .5m in diameter, were attached to the motor shaft and the power output of the motor were used to raise a weight hanging from a rope wrapped around the drum, how large a weight could be lifted. (c) At what speed would it lift that weight.
My attempt (a) torque=P/w = 5.937*10^3N.m
(b) F=torque/r = 23.748*10^3N
(c) v=r*w. Any help on how to do part c, would be welcomed, thanks.

Your equation should work just fine
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
