Engineering Torque of motor varies as the cube of the speed means what?

AI Thread Summary
Torque is proportional to the cube of speed in a DC shunt motor, meaning that as speed increases, torque increases significantly. In the given problem, the motor operates at 385 volts and draws 51 amps at a specific speed. To reduce the speed to 50 percent of its original value, additional resistance must be calculated based on the armature circuit resistance of 0.5 ohms and the field-circuit resistance of 35 ohms. The relationship highlights the importance of understanding motor dynamics for effective control. Proper calculation of resistance is crucial for achieving the desired speed reduction.

is this means that torque is proportional or inversely proportional to the cube of speed

the problem says

The torque of a load driven by a 385-V, Dc shunt motor varies as the cube of the speed. The current taken by the motor is 51A at a certian speed. Calculate the additional resistance to be inserted in series with the armature to reduce the speed to 50 percent of the original value. The armature circuit resistance is 0.5 ohms and the field-circuit resistance is 35 ohms


Thanks
