##Example 2.2

G=3.6;                           ##Diffential ratio
N=3500./G;                        ##[rpm] Axle rotational speed
d=30.;                            ##[in] Diameter of tire
dist=N/(60.)*(math.pi*d)              ##[in] Distance traveled in 1 sec
dist=dist/12.;                    ##[ft] Distance traveled in 1 sec
t=1.;                             ##[sec] Time period
F=864.;                           ##[lb] Force exerted by tire on road surface

W=F*dist;                        ##[ft*lb] Workdone in 1 sec
P=F*dist/t;                      ##[ft*lb/sec] Power
hp=P/550.;                        ##[hp] Power in horse power 1hp=550 ft*lb/sec

print'%s %.2f %s '%('\n\n Power to do work ',hp,' hp');

##Comparing it to motor output:

Tm=300.*12.;                        ##[in*lb] Engine torque
Nm=3500.;                          ##[rpm] Engine speed
Pm=Tm*Nm/63000.; 

print'%s %.2f %s '%('\n Motor output ',Pm,' hp');
print('\n The power output equaled the power at tire/road surface.');

##Note: The deviation of answer from the answer given in the book is due to round off error.(In the book values are rounded while in scilab actual values are taken)

 EXAMPLE-2.2   Page 28 


 Power to do work  199.92  hp 

 Motor output  200.00  hp 

 The power output equaled the power at tire/road surface.
