3. A multicylinder gasoline engine in an airplane, operating at 2500 rev/min, takes in energy 7.89 x 105 J and exhausts 4.58 × 105 J for each revolution of the crankshaft. (a) How many liters of fuel does it consume in 1.00 h of operation if the combustion of the fuel provides a heat of 4.03 x 107 J/L? (b) What is the mechanical power output of the engine? Ignore friction. (c) What is the torque exerted by the crankshaft on the load?
