An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

If an automobile engine delivers a power of 50.0 hp, how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.40 x 10^4 j of work? (1 h
aleksandrvk [35]

Given data

Power (P) = 50 hp,

                = 50 × 746,  we know that 1 hp = 746 W.

                = 37300 Watts      (Watt = J/s)  

Work  = 6.40 ×10⁴ J

Power is defined as rate of doing work and the unit of power is<em> Watt.</em>

Mathematically,

         Power = (Work / time)   Watts

                     = 6.40 ×10⁴ / time

          37300 W = 6.40 ×10⁴ J /time      (Where time in seconds)

         => time = Work/Power

                      = 6.40 ×10⁴/37300

                      = <em>1.74 seconds  </em>

<em>  </em><em>Therefore , the engine need 1.74 seconds to do 6.40 6.40 ×10⁴ J of work </em>

densk [106]
From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)
