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.

14.4% of what number is 10.4
Helga [31]
First, convert "of" to x and put this info into an equation:

Let n represent the unknown number.  

14.4 % x n= 10.4
              n = 10.4 / 14.4%
              n = 72.22222
              n = ~72

Hope this helps!

What is the length of line segment GH?<br> 3 units<br> 4 units<br> 5 units<br> 6 units
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

GH = 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate GC using Pythagoras' identity in right triangle GCE

GC² = 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )

GC = \sqrt{225} = 15

GH + HC = GC ← HC is the radius of the circle and HC = 9, thus

GH + 9 = 15 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

GH = 6

How to work out this linear stimultaneous equations
Oduvanchick [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

  • extract the third equation from one of the given equation by making at most one variable with 1 as the coefficient the subject of the equation.
  • x = 2 - y...........(3)
  • now substitute the third equation to the other equation *Not the one you extracted the new equation from*
  • y = 2 ({2 - y})^{2}  + (2 -y ) - 2
  • After substituting simplify
  • y = 2(2 - y)(2 - y) + 2 - y - 2 \\ y = 2(4 - 2y - 2y +  {y}^{2} ) + 2 - y - 2 \\ y = 2(4 - 4y  +  {y}^{2} ) - y \\ y = 8 - 8y + 2 {y }^{2}  - y
  • Therfore group the terms in the form of a general Quadratic equation.
