Answer

$\tau = 0.382~N~m$

Work Step by Step

Two-thirds of the energy (6.00 kJ/min) goes into the motor output. We can find the power of the motor output. $P = \frac{E}{t} = \frac{6000~J}{60~s}$ $P = 100~W$ We can find the torque that the engine will develop. $P = \tau ~\omega$ $\tau = \frac{P}{\omega}$ $\tau = \frac{100~W}{(2500~rpm)(1~min/60~s)(2\pi~rad/rev)}$ $\tau = 0.382~N~m$
