    A motor is rated at 10 horsepower. With an efficiency of 80%, the question asks how many kilowatts of electricity must be supplied to run the motor. Using the formula that efficiency equals output power divided by input power, the output power is calculated as 0.8 times 10 horsepower converted to kilowatts, which equals 5.97 kilowatts.

    How many kilowatts of electricity must be supplied to run a motor that is rated at 10 hp of
    electrical energy is transformed into mechanical energy with an efficiency of 80%?

    A. 9.33 kw B. 10 kw C. 5.97 kw D. 12 kw

    Given:

    Pin = 10 hp

    Efficiency = 80%

    Required:

    Pout

    Solution:

    Using the formula of efficiency,

    Pout
    efficiency =
    P¿

    Pout =efficiency × P¿

    0.746 kw
    (
    Pout =0.8× 10 hp ×
    1hp )

    Pout =5.968 kw

    Therefore the answer is C. 5.97kw
