To calculate the power of the reciprocating steam engine, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Average pressure of steam, \( P = 10^4 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Length of the stroke, \( L = 1 \, \text{m} \) - Area of the piston, \( A = 0.15 \, \text{m}^2 \) - Number of strokes per second, \( V = 5 \, \text{strokes/second} \) ...
