For a rope brake dynamometer, the flywheel is cooled with soapy water because________ Correct Answer Energy is absorbed by the dynamometer

A rope brake dynamometer is an example of absorption dynamometer, in absorption dynamometers the entire energy or power produced by the engine is absorbed by the friction resistances of the brake and is transformed into heat. Hence to overcome this soapy water is used.

A single cylinder, four stroke cycle oil engine is fitted with a rope brake. The diameter of the brake wheel is 600 mm and the rope diameter is 26 mm. The dead load on the brake is 200 N and the spring balance reads 30 N. If the engine runs at 450 r.p.m., what will be the brake power of the engine?
Ariba and Ayaan decided to use nails and a thread to make a circle on the ground. Ariba took a thin rope of length 5 meters and tied nails on both ends of the rope. Ariba fixed one end of the rope in the ground and kept holding it. She gave other end of rope to Ayaan and asked him to draw a circle. Similarly Ayaan took a thin rope of length 3 meters and made a circle in a same manner. What will be the ratio of areas of these two circles?
A uniform rope is suspended from the roof of a building. The rope breaks if the tension in the rope is greater than 700 N. A man of mass 50 kg climbs up the rope. Find the maximum acceleration with which he can climb up the rope (g = 10 m/s2)
A man ordered a length of rope by telephone from his nearest hardware shop. But when a worker in the shop brought the rope, he found that the man on the telephone had miswritten the order by interchange feet and inches. As a result of this, the length of rope received was only 30% of the length he had ordered. The length of the rope which the man ordered was between :
Two persons are holding a rope of negligible mass horizontally. A 20 kg mass is attached to the rope at the mid-point, as a result, the rope deviates from the horizontal direction. The tension required to completely straighten the rope is (g = 10 m/s2)

Statement (I): Piston temperature profiles near full load are flattened in case of liquid cooled engines whereas for air cooled engines temperature profiles are steeper. Statement (II): The piston temperature profiles are different in nature for liquid cooled and air cooled engines because of the different values of heat capacities.
The brake power (B.P.) of the engine is given by (where W = Brake load or dead load in newtons, l = Length of arm in meters, N = Speed of engine in r.p.m., S = Spring balance reading in newtons, D = Dia. of brake drum in meters, and d = Dia. of rope in meters)
