(N/A) For a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis,the power $P$ delivered by a torque $\tau$ is given by the product of the torque and the angular velocity $\omega$ of the body.
Mathematically,the formula is expressed as:
$P = \tau \omega$
Where:
$P$ is the instantaneous power,
$\tau$ is the torque applied to the body,
$\omega$ is the angular velocity of the body.

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of $200 \; rad \; s^{-1}$,an engine needs to transmit a torque of $180 \; N \; m$. What is the power required by the engine (in $; kW$)? (Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice,applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is $100 \%$ efficient.
