Answer:
Option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
Explanation:
Cheapest method of heating must have least cost per kj of energy. So, convert all the energy in the same unit (say kj) and take select the cheapest method to heat the house.
Given:
Three methods are given to heat a particular house are as follows:
Method (a)
Through Gas, this gives energy of amount $1.33/therm.
Method (b)
Through electric resistance, this gives energy of amount $0.12/KWh.
Method (c)
Through oil, this gives energy of amount $2.30/gallon.
Calculation:
Step1
Change therm to kj in method ‘a’ as follows:
$/kj.
Step2
Change kWh to kj in method ‘b’ as follows:
$/kj.
Step3
Change kWh to kj in method ‘c’ as follows:
$/kj.
Thus, the method ‘a’ has least cost as compare to method b and c.
So, option ‘a’ is the cheapest for this house.
Answer:
Explanation:
load = 4500lb lift height= 30 ft
time =15 s
velocity= ft/s
velocity=2 ft/s
power = force velocity
power=
power= 9000 lb ft/s
1 hp= 550 lb ft/s
power= hp
