Answer: 1950 r.p.m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In first gear, or low gear, an automobile's engine runs about three times as fast as the drive shaft.
If Drive-shaft speed d= 650 r.p.m.
Then, the engine speed (e) is given by :-
[tex]e=3d[/tex]
If Drive-shaft speed d= 650 r.p.m. , the the engine speed will be:-
[tex]e=3\times650=1950\ r.p.m.[/tex]
Hence, in first gear Engine speed =1950 r.p.m.
