1. **State the problem:** We need to find the horsepower of an automobile engine given the bore, stroke, average pressure, and power strokes per minute.
2. **Given data:**
- Bore diameter $d = 2.9000$ inches
- Stroke length $L = 2 \frac{3}{16} = 2.1875$ inches
- Average pressure $P = 105$ pounds per square inch (psi)
- Power strokes per minute $N = 2000$
3. **Formula for horsepower:**
Horsepower (HP) can be calculated using the formula:
$$\text{HP} = \frac{P \times A \times L \times N}{33000}$$
where:
- $P$ is the average pressure in psi
- $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the cylinder in square inches
- $L$ is the stroke length in inches
- $N$ is the number of power strokes per minute
- 33000 is the conversion factor from inch-pounds per minute to horsepower
4. **Calculate the cross-sectional area $A$ of the cylinder:**
The bore is the diameter, so the radius $r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2.9}{2} = 1.45$ inches.
$$A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1.45)^2 = \pi \times 2.1025 = 6.605$ (approx) square inches
5. **Calculate the horsepower:**
$$\text{HP} = \frac{105 \times 6.605 \times 2.1875 \times 2000}{33000}$$
6. **Simplify step-by-step:**
Calculate numerator:
$$105 \times 6.605 = 693.525$$
$$693.525 \times 2.1875 = 1517.48$$
$$1517.48 \times 2000 = 3,034,960$$
Divide by denominator:
$$\text{HP} = \frac{3,034,960}{33000}$$
7. **Cancel common factors:**
$$\text{HP} = \frac{3,034,960}{33,000} = \frac{3,034,960 \div 11}{33,000 \div 11} = \frac{275,905.45}{3,000}$$
8. **Final division:**
$$\text{HP} = 91.97$$
9. **Round to nearest tenth:**
$$\boxed{92.0 \text{ hp}}$$
Thus, the horsepower of the engine is approximately 92.0 hp.
