    Relationship between power and torque

    From basic physics we know, that: P = M * w/t, where: P - power m - torque w - angle of rotation t - time This can be translated into this formula: P = M * n / 9550, where: n - RPM In other words, a power is directly proportional to torque. Then how does the dyno tests of car engines produces...
