A flywheel is to be fitted on a punching machine with 73% mechanical efficiency. The machine makes 20 working strokes per minute. The holes are 20-mm diameter, thickness of 12 mm steel plates with an ultimate shear strength of 330 MPa. The punching operation takes place during 1/9th of a revolution of the crankshaft. Determine the capacity (kW) of a driving motor necessary to operate a punching machine.
