Design a program that calculates the area and circumstance of rectangle?

Phantasy [73]

Let “w” and “L” be the width and length of the rectangle. “p” and “a” are perimeter and area
For python,
w=int(input(“width”))
l=int(input(“length”))
a= w*l
p=2*w+2*l

An air-conditioning system operating on the reversed Carnot cycle is required to transfer heat from a house at a rate of 755 kJ/

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Heat transfer rate of the house = Ql = 755 kJ/min

House temperature = Th = 24°C = 24 +273 = 297 Kelvin

Outdoor temperature = To = 35 °C = 35 + 273 = 308 Kelvin

Step 2: Calculate the coefficient of performance o reversed carnot air-conditioner working between the specified temperature limits.

COPr,c = 1 / ((To/Th) - 1)

COPr,c = 1 /(( 308/297) - 1)

COPr,c = 1/ 0.037

COPr,c = 27

Step 3: The power input cna be given as followed:

Wnet,in = Ql / COPr,max

Wnet, in = 755 / 27

Wnet,in = 27.963 kJ/min

Win = 27.963 * 1 KW/60kJ/min = 0.466 KW

There is 0.466 KW required to operate this air-conditioning system

Paint can shaker mechanisms are common in paint and hardware stores. While they do a good job of mixing the paint, they are also

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A good design for a portable device to mix paint minimizing the shaking forces and vibrations while still effectively mixing the paint. Is:

The best design is one with centripetal movement. Instead of vertical or horizontal movement. With a container and system of holding structures made of materials that could absorb the vibration effectively.

Explanation:

First of all centripetal movement would be friendlier to our objective as it would not shake the can or the machine itself with disruptive vibrations. Also, we would have to use materials with a good grade of force absorption to eradicate the transmission of the movement to the rest of the structure. Allowing the reduction of the shaking forces while maintaining it effective in the process of mixing.

A utility generates electricity with a 36% efficient coal-fired power plant emitting the legal limit of 0.6 lb of SO2 per millio

Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) 570 kWh of electricity will be saved

b) the amount of SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c) $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) How many kilowatt-hours of electricity would be saved?

first, we determine the total power consumption by the incandescent lamp

$P_{incandescent}$ = 75 w × 10,000-hr = 750000 wh = 750 kWh

next, we also find the total power consumption by the fluorescent lamp

$P_{fluorescent}$ = 18 × 10000 = 180000 = 180 kWh

So the value of power saved will be;

$P_{saved}$ = $P_{incandescent}$ - $P_{fluorescent}$

$P_{saved}$ = 750 - 180

$P_{saved}$ = 570 kWh

Therefore, 570 kWh of electricity will be saved.

now lets find the heat of electricity saved in Bituminous

heat saved = energy saved per CLF / efficiency of plant

given that; the utility has 36% efficiency

we substitute

heat saved = 570 kWh/CLF / 36%

we know that; 1 kilowatt (kWh) = 3,412 btu per hour (btu/h)

heat saved = 570 kWh/CLF / 0.36 × (3412 Btu / kW-hr (

heat saved = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

i.e eat of electricity saved per CLF is 5.4 × 10⁶

b) How many 2,000-lb tons of SO₂ would not be emitted

2000 lb/tons = 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF

0.6 lb SO₂ / million Btu = x

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ / million Btu )] / 2000 lb/tons

x = [( 5.4 × 10⁶ Btu/CLF ) × ( 0.6 lb SO₂ )] / [ ( 10⁶) × ( 2000 lb/ton) ]

x = 3.24 × 10⁶ / 2 × 10⁹

x = 0.00162 ton/CLF

Therefore, the amount of SO₂ not be emitted or heat of electricity saved is 0.00162 ton/CLF

c) If the utility can sell its rights to emit SO2 at $800 per ton, how much money could the utility earn by selling the SO2 saved by a single CFL?

Amount = ( SO₂ saved per CLF ) × ( rate per CFL )

we substitute

Amount = 0.00162 ton/CLF × $800

= $1.296

Therefore; $1.296 can be earned by selling the SO₂ saved by a single CFL.

Marble A is placed in a hollow tube, and the tube is swung in a horizontal plane causing the marble to be thrown out. As viewed

Vilka [71]

Answer:

The direction of ball will be Number 4 (as can be seen in attached picture) ---- the path of ball will be making some angle when it leaves the tube.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. So the picture, which is missing in question, is attached for your review.

As it can be seen in the picture, the ball coming out of the tube will have two components of velocity. One is along the length of tube (because ball is moving in that direction and is coming out from the hole), other is velocity component will be perpendicular to the tube (because the ball is made to move in that direction as the tube is rolling on the surface).

So, taking the resultant of two vectors of velocity, the resultant direction of ball will be Number 4 (as can be seen in attached picture) ---- the path of ball will be making some angle when it leaves the tube.
