A prony brake is to be built to measure the torque output of a 10-hp motor that operates at a speed of 1200 r/min. If the scale available has a maximum capacity of 7kg, what is the length of the shortest brake arm that could be used to measure any torque output of the motor up to 125 percent of its rated value?
