    Given: Frictional torque = 500 N-mm, Speed = 1500 r.p.m

    Formula: Frictional power loss = (2 π nT) / (60 x 1000)

    Convert frictional torque into N-m
    Therefore, T = 0.5 N-m

    Substituting the given values we get,

    Frictional power loss = ( 2 π nT) / (60 x 1000)
    = ( 2 x π x 1500 x 0.5) / (60 x 1000)
    Frictional power loss = 0.0785 kW
