  1. A shunt-connected DC motor operates at its rated terminal voltage. Its no-load speed is 200 radians/ second. At its rated torque of 500 Nm, its speed is 180 radian/second. The motor is used to directly drive a load whose load torque TL depends on its rotational speed (in radians/second), such that TL = 2.78 × ωT. Neglecting rotational losses, the steady-state speed (in radian/second) of the motor, when it drives this load is ______.
    1. 179.86
    2. 179
    3. 86
    4. 17
Correct Option: A

Under steady state condition
load torque = motor torque
∴ 500 = 2.78 × ωT

∴ ωT =
500
= 178.88 rad / sec
20 + 8
