A quarter horse power motor runs at a speed of $ 600 r.p.m.$  Assuming $40\%$  efficiency the work done by the motor in one rotation will be

Motor makes $600$  revolution per minute
$ n =$  $600\frac{{{\rm{revolution}}}}{{{\rm{minute}}}} = 10\frac{{rev}}{{\sec }}$
 Time required for one revolution $ = \frac{1}{{10}}$sec
Energy required for one revolution = power $×$ time
=$\frac{1}{4} \times 746 \times \frac{1}{{10}} = \frac{{746}}{{40}}J$
But work done = $40\% $ of input
$ = 40\% \times \frac{{746}}{{40}} = \frac{{40}}{{100}} \times \frac{{746}}{{40}} = 7.46\,J$
