An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. The

three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same socket.
a) What current is drawn by each device?

b) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

Answer:

a) Current drawn by the toaster = 15A

Current drawn by the electric frying pan = 11.67A

Current drawn by the lamp = 0.625A

b) This combination will blow the 15A fuse as the total current requirement for this setup exceeds the 15A rating of the fuse.

Explanation:

a) For parallel connection, there exists, the same voltage and different currents across all the devices.

Voltage cross each of the 3 devices = outlet voltage of 120V

From their respective power rating, current drawn by each device will be calculated.

P = IV

For the toaster, P = 1800 W, V = 120V

I = 1800/120 = 15A

For the electric frying pan, P = 1400 W, V = 120 V

I = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

For the lamp, P = 75 W, V = 120V

I = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Total current in a parallel connection setup = Sum total of all the currents.

Total current drawn by all 3 devices = 15 + 11.67 + 0.625 = 27.295A = 27.3 A

This total current requirement surpasses the 15A current rating of the fuse, therefore, this combination will blow the fuse.

Hope this Helps!!!

For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 h duration will raise the carbon concentration
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

135 hour

Explanation:

It is given that a carburizing heat treatment of 15 hour will raise the carbon concentration by 0.35 wt% at a point of 2 mm from the surface.

We have to find the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 6 mm position.

we know that \frac{x_1^2}{Dt}=constant where x is distance and t is time .As the temperature is constant so D will be also constant

So \frac{x_1^2}{t}=constant

then \frac{x_1^2}{t_1}=\frac{x_2^2}{t_2} we have given x_1=2 mm\ ,t_1=15 hour\ ,x_2=6\ mm and we have to find t_2 putting all these value in equation

\frac{2^2}{15}=\frac{6^2}{t_2}

so t_2=135\ hour

Define the coefficient of determination and discuss the impact you would expect it to have on your engineering decision-making b
scoundrel [369]

Answer and Explanation:

The coefficient of determination also called "goodness of fit" or R-squared(R²) is used in statistical measurements to understand the relationship between two variables such that changes in one variable affects the other. The level of relationship or the degree to which one affects the other is measured by 0 to 1 whereby 0 means no relationship at all and 1 means one totally affects the other while figures in between such 0.40 would mean one variable affects 40% of the other variable.

In making a decision as an engineer while using the coefficient of determination, one would try to understand the relationship between variables under consideration and make decisions based on figures obtained from calculating coefficient of determination. In other words when there is a 0 coefficient then there is no relationship between variables and an engineer would make his decisions with this in mind and vice versa.

Technician A says that hoods are designed with reinforcements to prevent folding during a collision. Technician B says that some
-BARSIC- [3]

Technician A is wrong.

  • Usually, hoods have what is called "Crush Zones" underneath the panels. The function of the Crush Zone is to prevent the hoods, during a collision, from entering into the passenger space.

  • The crush zones allow the hoods to fold instead.

Technician B is right.

  • Automobile producers now make use of a hybrid form of hood that consists of fiberglass reinforced with plastic.

  • They are mostly used for trucks that have a low volume of production.

  • The hood is built using a process called Resin Transfer Model (RTM).
