What power (in horsepower) is developed by a grinding machine whose wheel has a radius of 8.10 in and runs at 7.20 rev/s,
when the tool to be sharpened is held against the wheel with a force of 47.0 lb?
The coefficient of friction between the tool and the wheel is 0.310 .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Had the units be in metric system, the answer would be
Power = ,
where r is the radius, n is the number of revolutions per second (7.20), is the friction coefficient (0.310) and F is the force.
In the given units you need to make an appropriate conversion of units.
So, consider my response as some hint.
It is not the complete solution.
