(2) 100 divide by 5000 = .02 X 5252 = 105.04 ft lbs tq.

(3) 2 X 105.04 = 210.08 ft lbs tq.

(4) Don't know how to do this one.
(5) Don't know.

(6) Airplanes fly because they can displace in a downward vector a mass of air that exceeds the weight of the aircraft. Sailplanes can fly using only solar power. For sustained flight work must be performed. The aircraft has mass and is being moved through a distance, therefor horsepower is being applied. Torque is a measurement of force. Horsepower is a measurement of work. Torque is the twisting force applied to the propeller by the crankshaft. Add a time and a distance and you have horspower. Horsepower helps airplanes fly.
