ASVAB Mechanical Comprehension Practice Test 517195

Question 1 of 5
Efficiency

The efficiency of a machine describes how much of the power put into the machine is turned into movement or force. A 100% efficient machine would turn all of the input power into output movement or force. However, no machine is 100% efficient due to friction, heat, wear and other imperfections that consume input power without delivering any output.

What is the power output of a 5 hp engine that's 85% efficient?
4675 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
2337.5 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
1168.8 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
7012.5 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
