Answer:

(a) 561.12 W/ m² (b) 196.39 MW

Explanation:

Solution

(a) Determine the energy and power of the wave per unit area

The energy per unit are of the wave is defined as:

E = 1 /16ρgH²

= 1/16 * 1025 kg/ m3* 9.81 m/s² * (2.5 m )²

=3927. 83 J/m²

Thus,

The power of the wave per unit area is,

P = E/ t

= 3927. 83 J/m² / 7 s = 561.12 W/ m²

(b) The average and work power output of a wave power plant

W = E * л * A

= 3927. 83 J/m² * 0.35 * 1 *10^6 m²

= 1374.74 MJ

Then,

The power produced by the wave for one km²

P = P * л * A

= 5612.12 W/m² * 0.35 * 1* 10^6 m²

=196.39 MW

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

1.887 m

Explanation:

(15 *pi)/180

= 0.2618 rad

Polar moment

= Pi*d⁴/32

= (22/7*20⁴)/32

= 15707.96

Torque on shaft

= ((22/7)*20³*110)/16

= 172857.14

= 172.8nm

Shear modulus

G = 79.3

L = Gjθ/T

= 79.3x10⁹x(1.571*10^-8)x0.2618/172.8

= 1.887 m

The length of the bar is therefore 1.887 meters
