If the crankshaft of a four stroke engine is rotating at 900 rpm how many power strokes occur each second?

Your 4 strokes are Intake, Compression, Power, and Exhaust. On the first revolution is Intake on the down stroke, then compression on the up stroke, the next revolution is power on the down stroke and exhaust on the up stroke, so 2 revolutions complete a full cycle. That would mean 450 power strokes occur per minute, divide that by 60 to get 7.5 power strokes per second
