Best Answer

A device called a Dynomometer (rolling road) is connected to the automobile wheels.

The engine is run at full throttle from idle to maximum RPM, then the engine is disconnected from the wheels (neutral) and the wheels allowed to slow down through the speed range.

A computer then calculates the engine torque and Horse Power.

What is a specific example of a machine and describe how its mechanical efficiency might be calculated?

An example of a machine is a car engine. Mechanical efficiency can be calculated by comparing the work output (such as the power produced by the engine) to the work input (such as the energy from the fuel). The formula for mechanical efficiency is: Efficiency = (useful work output / total work input) x 100%.
