The 1000-lb elevator is hoisted by the pulley system and motor M. The motor exerts a constant force of 500 lb on the cable. The
klemol [59]

The power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

weight of the elevator, m = 1000 lb

Force on the table, F = 500 lb

Distance, s = 27 ft

Efficiency, ε = 0.65

Power  = ?

According to the equation of motion:

F = ma

3(500) - 1000 = \frac{1000}{32.2} * a

a = 16.1 ft/s²

We know,

v^2 - u^2 = 2a (S - So)\\\\v^2 - (0)^2 = 2 * 16.1 (27-0)\\\\v = 29.48m/s

To calculate the output power:

Pout = F. v

Pout = 3 (500) * 29.48

Pout = 44220 lb.ft/s

As efficiency is given and output power is known, we can calculate the input power.

ε = Pout / Pin

0.65 = 44220 / Pin

Pin = 68030.8 lb.ft/s

Pin = 68030.8 / 500 hp

     = 136 hp

Therefore, the power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

A 1000 W iron utilizes a resistance wire which is 20 inches long and has a diameter of 0.08 inches. Determine the rate of heat g
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume is 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux is 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2

Explanation:

Rate of heat generation = 1000 W = 1000/0.29307 = 3412.15 Btu/hr

Area (A) = πD^2/4

Diameter (D) = 0.08 inches = 0.08 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 0.0067 ft

A = 3.142×0.0067^2/4 = 3.53×10^-5 ft^2

Volume (V) = A × Length

L = 20 inches = 20 in × 3.2808 ft/39.37 in = 1.67 ft

V = 3.53×10^-5 × 1.67 = 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3

Rate of heat generation in the wire per unit volume = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 5.8951×10^-5 ft^3 = 5.79×10^7 Btu/hrft^3

Heat flux = 3412.15 Btu/hr ÷ 3.53×10^-5 ft^2 = 9.67×10^7 Btu/hrft^2
