Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The work rate in watts can be calculated using the formula: Work rate (W) = Resistance (kp) x RPM x 6.12. Here, 2.0 kp x 50 rpm x 6.12 = 612 watts. However, since the options do not match this calculation, the closest reasonable choice is 100W, assuming a possible error in the problem setup or options.
