A homeowner is installing a swimming pool. You have been asked to install a circuit to operate a 600-watt underwater light and a

circulating pump. The motor nameplate reveals that the pump has a current draw of 8.5 amperes. The devices are considered continuous duty. Can the power to operate both of these devices be supplied by a single 20-ampere circuit?

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The loads in the circuit are continuous duty, so the circuit can only loaded to 80% of its current rating.

Calculate 80% current rating of the circuit breaker.

Icb = [ 80/100] (20 A)

     =  (O.8) (20 A )

     = 16 A

Now we assume that the value of supply voltage is 120 V

Now we will calculate current flows via under water light which will be taken as  Load 1

<em>Ii = </em>500 W/120 V

  = 4.167 A

Current via the circulating pump which will be taken as Load 2 IS 8.5 A

<em>I = </em>load1 + load 2

<em>    = 4.167 A + 8.5 A</em>

<em>   = 12.67 A</em>

The total current in the circuit obtained which is less than the circuit breaker rating current. Therefore, the power can be operated for both the loads.

The diagram shows a straight line ABCD.
Nady [450]

Answer:

B (0, 285 ) , C (380, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the first step is to obtain the equation of the line in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 260, 480 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D (620, - 180 )

m = \frac{-180-480}{620-(-260)} = \frac{-660}{620+260} = \frac{-660}{880} = - \frac{66}{88} = - 0.75 , then

y = - 0.75x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equatio

using (620, - 180 ) , then

- 180 = - 465 + c ⇒ c = - 180 + 465 = 285

So y- intercept is B (0, 285 )

y = - 0.75x + 285 ← equation of line

to find the x- intercept , let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

0 = - 0.75 + 285 ( subtract 285 from both sides )

- 285 = - 0.75x ( divide both sides by - 0.75 )

380 = x

x- intercept is C (380, 0 )
