The torque transmitted to an induction motor is a function of the slip between the rotation of

the stator field and the rotor speed s where slip is defined as

s = n - nr/n

where n = revolutions per second of rotating stator speed and nr = rotor speed. Kirchoff's
laws can be used to show that the torque (expressed in dimensionless form) and slip are
related by

T = @(s) 15 * (s-s .^2) ./( (1-s) .* (4*s.^2 - 3 * s +4));

Figure P16.25 show this function. Use a numerical method to determine the slip at which
the maximum torque occurs.
