Answer:

a. 150 N

Explanation:

Gravitational Force: This is the force that act on a body under gravity.

The gravitational force always attract every object on or near the earth's surface. The earth therefore, exerts an attractive force on every object on or near it.

The S.I unit of gravitational force is Newton(N).

Mathematically, gravitational force of attraction is expressed as

(i) F = GmM/r² ........................ Equation 1 ( when it involves two object of different masses on the earth)

(ii) F = mg ............................... Equation 2 ( when it involves one mass and the gravitational field).

Given: m = 17 kg, g = 8.8 m/s²

Substituting into equation 2,

F = 17(8.8)

F = 149.6 N

F ≈ 150 N.

Thus the gravitational force = 150 N

The correct option is a. 150 N

A single-phase electrical load draws 600KVA at 0.6 power factor lagging. a) Find the real and reactive power absorbed by the loa
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(a). The reactive power is 799.99 KVAR.

(c). The reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95 is 790.05 KVAR.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power factor = 0.6

Power = 600 kVA

(a). We need to calculate the reactive power

Using formula of reactive power

Q=P\tan\phi...(I)

We need to calculate the \phi

Using formula of \phi

\phi=\cos^{-1}(Power\ factor)

Put the value into the formula

\phi=\cos^{-1}(0.6)

\phi=53.13^{\circ}

Put the value of Φ in equation (I)

Q=600\tan(53.13)

Q=799.99\ kVAR

(b). We draw the power triangle

(c). We need to calculate the reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95

Using formula of reactive power

Q'=600\tan(0.95)

Q'=9.94\ KVAR

We need to calculate the difference between Q and Q'

Q''=Q-Q'

Put the value into the formula

Q''=799.99-9.94

Q''=790.05\ KVAR

Hence, (a). The reactive power is 799.99 KVAR.

(c). The reactive power of a capacitor to be connected across the load to raise the power factor to 0.95 is 790.05 KVAR.

A coil of wire containing N turns is in an external magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil and it steadil
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The Resultant Induced Emf in coil is 4∈.

Explanation:

Given that,

A coil of wire containing having N turns in an External magnetic Field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coil which is steadily changing. An Emf (∈) is induced in the coil.

To find :-

find the induced Emf if rate of change of the magnetic field and the number of turns in the coil are Doubled (but nothing else changes).

So,

   Emf induced in the coil represented by formula

                          ∈  =   -N\frac{d\phi}{dt}                                  ...................(1)

                                          Where:

                                                    .   \phi = BAcos\theta     { B is magnetic field }

                                                                                 {A is cross-sectional area}

                                                    .  N = No. of turns in coil.

                                                    .  \frac{d\phi}{dt} = Rate change of induced Emf.

Here,

Considering the case :-

                                    N1 = 2N  &      \frac{d\phi1}{dt} = 2\frac{d\phi}{dt}

Putting these value in the equation (1) and finding the  new emf induced (∈1)

                           

                                      ∈1 =-N1\times\frac{d\phi1}{dt}

                                      ∈1 =-2N\times2\frac{d\phi}{dt}

                                       ∈1 =4 [-N\times\frac{d\phi}{dt}]

                                        ∈1 = 4∈             ...............{from Equation (1)}      

Hence,

The Resultant Induced Emf in coil is 4∈.
