Torque Calculation
Original Message   Jan 3, 2009 12:31 am

I’m trying to calculate the Torque my Ariens Snow Thrower produces but I spent too much time in math class daydreaming about a girl (her name was Stephanie).  So anyway I’m not sure if I’m calculating this correctly.  Feel free to quality check...

I recall that: 

Horsepower = (Torque x RPM) / 5252   ...  With the torque measured in ft-lbs

So then:   Torque = (HP x 5252) / RPM

If that’s the case them my Ariens 11528 produces:

Torque = (11.5HP x 5252) / 3600RPM

Torque = 60398 /  3600

Torque = 16.7 ft-lbs

Does that seem right?
