A shunt motor was tested by means of a pony brake having a length arm of 4 ft and a tare weight of 6.3 lbs. The current drawn by the machine from a 250-V line was 59.0 A when the scale reading was 24 lbs and the speed of the motor was 1200 rpm. The armature and shunt field resistances of the machine are 0.1 ohm and 240 ohms, respectively. Determine the following: Torque of the motor, lb-ft Output power, HP counter emf, volts power developed, watts  rotational losses, watts
