Power Exerted on a Rotating Object

Torque is a rotational force. Torque acting through a rotational distance over time creates power.

Rotational power equals the torque times the angular velocity.

Formula

QuantityVariable["P", "Power"] == QuantityVariable["τ", "Torque"]*QuantityVariable["ω", "AngularVelocity"]

symbol description physical quantity
P rotational power "Power"
τ torque "Torque"
ω angular velocity "AngularVelocity"

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[
 ResourceObject[
  "Power Exerted on a Rotating Object"], {QuantityVariable[
   "P","Power"] -> Quantity[1, "Watts"]}]
Out[3]=
