Wow !

1 horsepower = 746 watts
2.1 horsepower = (2.1 x 746) = 1,566.6 watts

Since the motor is 71% efficient, 1,566.6 watts = 71% of the input power.

                                             1,566.6 = 0.71 P

Divide each side by 0.71 :     input Power = (1,566.6 / 0.71)  watts
(Let's leave it like that for right now.  The final answer will be more accurate
if we can avoid rounding until the very end.)

                               Input power =(voltage) x (current)

                  (1,566.6/0.71 watts) = (171 volts) x (Current)

Divide each side by  171 volts:    Current = (1,566.6) / (0.71 x 171) = 12.903 Amps.

                                                                                             Current = <em>12.9 Amperes</em>. 

Check:

               (volts x Amps) x (efficiency) = output power

               (171 x 12.9)(watts) x (71%) x (1 HP / 746 watts) =

               (171 x 12.9 x 0.71) / (746)      HP  =  <em>2.0994 HP</em>

                                               Close enough to 2.1 for Engineers !

                                                                       yay !

Explain this quote "ambition beats genius 99% of the time. "
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.

How do you determine true displacement value of an object that has moved?
WITCHER [35]
Diceplacement is the distance an object has traveled in a certain direction
for example, if you were to walk North for 20m, then east for 40m, the <u>distance</u> you have traveled is 60m however your displacement is the distance between your starting position and your end position;
sqrt(20^2+40^2) = 44.7m
and because displacement is a vector, there needs to be a direction;
sin(theta)=40/44.7
theta=63.4 degrees East of North

therefore the true displacement is 44.7m at 63.4 degrees East of North

A wire of length 5mm and Diameter 2m extends by 0.25 when a force of 50N was use. calculate the
bazaltina [42]

Answer and Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Force = 50N

Length = 5mm

diameter = 2.0m = 2\times 10^{-3}

Extended by = 0.25mm = 0.25\times 10^{-3}

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows

a. The Stress of the wire is

= \frac{force\ applied}{area\ of \ circle}

here area of circle = perpendicular to the are i.e cross-sectional  i.e

= \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

= \frac{\pi(2\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}

Now place these above values to the above formula

= \frac{4\times 50}{\pi\times 4 \times 10^{-6}} \\\\ = \frac{50}{\pi}

= 15.92 MPa

As 1Pa = 1 by N m^2

So,

MPa = 10^6 N m^2

b. Now the strain of the wire is

= \frac{Change\ in\ length}{initial\ length} \\\\ = \frac{0.25\times 10^{-3}}{5}

= 5 \times 10^{-5}
