,(H)() foot-pounds per minute. Hence,to lind tlie borse-])ower that a shaft will transmit, we must firstiiiid the work done, and then relate it to the speed. Take, for ex-ample, the case of a pulley, the symbols being the same as before namely, P ^^ driving force at rim of pulley (lbs.); Tl —… … This is one of the most useful eipiations for calculations involvinghorse-power. By it the number of inch-pounds torsion for anyhorse-power can be at once ascertained. It should be clearly noted, however, that in this e(|uation thebendintr moment does not enter at all. Hence any shaft based in size…
