Questions and Answers

What is the first step to be taken in the process described?

Cut off the fuel supply

Fully warm up the engine (correct)

Turn off the engine

Measure the power needed to rotate the engine

How are mechanical losses calculated in the context of this text?

$M = T \cdot n + K_1$
