You are an electrician installing the wiring in a new home. The homeowner desires that a ceiling fan with light kits be installe

d in five different rooms. Each fan contains a light kit that can accommodate four 60-watt lamps. Each fan motor draws a current of 1.8 amperes when operated on high speed. It is assumed that each fan can operate more than three hours at a time and therefore must be considered a continuous-duty device. The fans are to be connected to a 15-ampere circuit. Because the devices are continuous-duty, the circuit current must be limited to 80% of the continuous connected load. How many fans can be connected to a single 15-ampere circuit

Answer:

3 fans per 15 A circuit

Explanation:

From the question and the data given, the light load let fan would have been

(60 * 4)/120 = 240/120 = 2 A.

Next, we add the current of the fan motor to it, so,

2 A + 1.8 A = 3.8 A.

Since the devices are continuos duty and the circuit current must be limited to 80%, then the Breaker load max would be

0.8 * 15 A = 12 A.

Now, we can get the number if fans, which will be

12 A/ 3.8 A = 3.16 fans, or approximately, 3 fans per 15 A circuit.

viva [34]

Given;

V = 230V

Power, P = 100W

time, t = 2hrs = 7200s

from,

P = IV

and Energy, E= Pt

E = 100*7200

E = 720000 Joules

E = 720KJ

Masteriza [31]

Answer: D. It is a SUSPENSION

Explanation:

SUSPENSION

This is a combination of two or more single substances. The properties of the components involved are not however changed or lost as is the case with compounds.

For this reason this mixture can be separated due to sedimentation or filtering.

After a few days, this occurs in the aqueous nickel sulfide because the solid nickel sulfide is separating from the water.

The level of water in an olympic size swimming pool (50.0 meters long, 25.0 meters wide, and about 2.00 meters deep) needs to be
Goshia [24]
<span>We need to start by finding the surface area of the pool.
50 meters multiplied by 25 meters gives us 1250 square meters.
1250 square meters multiplied by .065 (6.5 cm in meters) gives us a volume of 81.25 cubic meters of water that needs to be pumped out of the pool.

There are 1000 liters in a cubic meter so this is 81250 liters. Divide by 4.2 to find the number of seconds required to pump out this much water and we get 19345.2 seconds. This equals approximately 5.37 hours.</span>
