Based on the National Electrical Code (NEC), a 450-Ampere fuse should be used to protect this polyphase (three-phase) squirrel cage inductor motor.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Power rating = 100-horsepower.
  • Voltage = 240 volt.

<h3>How to determine the correct fuse rating?</h3>

According to Table 430.52 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), a dual-element time delay fuse should be calculated at 175% (1.75) of the full-load current rating for an alternating current (AC) polyphase (three-phase) squirrel cage inductor motor.

In this scenario, the squirrel cage inductor motor didn't list a NEMA design code on its nameplate. Thus, we'll assume that the inductor motor is design B and its fuse rating is given by:

Fuse rating = 248 × 1.75 × 434

In conclusion, the nearest standard fuse size which is above the computed value listed in Section 240.6 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) is 450 amperes.

There are three options for heating a particular house: a. Gas: $1.33/therm where 1 therm=105,500 kJ b. Electric Resistance: $0.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Explanation:

Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.

Given:

Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:

Method (a)

Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.

Method (b)

Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.

Method (c)

Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.

Calculation:

Step1

Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:

C_{1}=\frac{\$ 1.33}{therm}\times(\frac{1therm}{105500kj})

C_{1}=1.2606\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step2

Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:

C_{2}=\frac{\$ 0.12}{kWh}\times(\frac{1 kWh }{3600kj})

C_{2}=3.334\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Step3

Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:

C_{3}=\frac{\$ 2.30}{gallon}\times(\frac{1 gallon }{138500kj})

C_{3}=1.66\times10^{-5} $/kj.

Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.

So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.

Write a C program that will update a bank balance. A user cannot withdraw an amount ofmoney that is more than the current balanc
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sample output:

BANK ACCOUT PROGRAM!

----------------------------------

Enter the old balance: 1234.50

Enter the transactions now.

Enter an F for the transaction type when you are finished.

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): D

Amount: 568.34

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): W

Amount: 25.68

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): W

Amount: 167.40

Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): F

Your ending balance is $1609.76

Program is ending

// include the necessary header files.

#include<stdio.h>

// Definition of the function

float withdraw(float account_balance, float withdraw_amount)

{

// Calculate the balace amount.

float balance_amount = account_balance - withdraw_amount;

// Check whether the withdraw amount

// is greater than 0 or not.

if (withdraw_amount > 0 && balance_amount >= 0)

{

// Assign value.

account_balance = balance_amount;

}

// return account_balance

return account_balance;

}

// return account balance.

return account_balance;

}

int main()

{

// Declare the variables.

float account_balance;

printf("BANK ACCOUT PROGRAM!\n");

printf("----------------------------------\n");

// prompt the user to enter the old balance.

printf("Enter the old balance: ");

// Input balance

scanf("%f", &account_balance);

// Display the statement on console.

printf("Enter the transactions now.\n");

printf("Enter an F for the transaction type when you are finished.\n");

// Start the do while loop

do

{

// prompt the user to enter transaction type.

printf("Transaction Type (D=deposit, W=withdrawal, F=finished): ");

// Input type.

scanf(" %c", &input);

// Check if the input is D

if (input == 'D')

{

// Prompt the user to input amount.

printf("Amount: ");

// input amount.

scanf("%f", &deposit_amount);

// Call to the function.

account_balance=deposit(account_balance,deposit_amount);

}

// Check if the input is W

if (input == 'W')

{

printf("Amount: ");

scanf("%f", &withdrawl_amount);

// Call to the function.

account_balance = withdraw(account_balance,withdrawl_amount);

}

// Check if the input is F

if (input == 'F')

{

// Dispplay the amount.

printf("Your ending balance is $%.2f\n", account_balance);

printf("Program is ending\n");

}

// End the while loop

} while(input != 'F');

return 0;

}

The link acts as part of the elevator control for a small airplane. If the attached aluminum tube has an inner diameter of 25 mm
aksik [14]

Answer:

Tmax=14.5MPa

Tmin=10.3MPa

Explanation:

T = 600 * 0.15 = 90N.m

T_max =\frac{T_c}{j}  = \frac{x}{y}  = \frac{90 \times 0.0175}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}

=14.5MPa

T_{min} =\frac{T_c}{j}  = \frac{x}{y}  = \frac{90 \times 0.0125}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}

=10.3MPa

The dam cross section is an equilateral triangle, with a side length, L, of 50 m. Its width into the paper, b, is 100 m. The dam
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an equilateral trinagle the center of mass is at 1/3 of the height and horizontally centered.

We can consider that the weigth applies a torque of T = W*b/2 on the right corner, being W the weight and b the base of the triangle.

The weigth depends on the size and specific gravity.

W = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG

Then

Teq = 1/2 * b * h * L * SG * b / 2

Teq = 1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG

The water would apply a torque of elements of pressure integrated over the area and multiplied by the height at which they are apllied:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {p(y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

The term sin(30) is because of the slope of the wall

The pressure of water is:

p(y) = SGw * (h - y)

Then:

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * (h-y) * sin(30) * L * (h-y)} \, dy

T1 = \int\limits^h_0 {SGw * sin(30) * L * (h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {(h-y)^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * \int\limits^h_0 {h^2 - 2*h*y + y^2} \, dy

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*y - h*y^2 + 1/3*y^3)(evaluated between 0 and h)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^2*h - h*h^2 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = SGw * sin(30) * L * (h^3 - h^3 + 1/3*h^3)

T1 = 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

To remain stable the equilibrant torque (Teq) must be of larger magnitude than the water pressure torque (T1)

1/4 * b^2 * h * L * SG > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * h^3

In an equilateral triangle h = b * cos(30)

1/4 * b^3 * cos(30) * L * SG  > 1/3 * SGw * sin(30) * L * b^3 * (cos(30))^3

SG > SGw * 4/3* sin(30) * (cos(30))^2

SG > 1/2 * SGw

For the dam to hold, it should have a specific gravity of at leas half the specific gravity of water.

This is avergae specific gravity, including holes.
