Consider an electric motor with shaft power output of 20kW and an efficiency of 88%. Determine the rate at which the motor dissipates heat to the room it is in when the motor operates at full load. In winter, this room is normally heated by a 2-kW resistance heater. Determine if it is necessary to turn the heater on when the motor runs at full load.
