ASVAB Mechanical Comprehension Practice Test 542443

Question 4 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 3 hp engine that's 50% efficient?
3300 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
206.3 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
150 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
825 \( \frac{ft⋅lb}{s} \)
