umka21 [38]

Answer:

$P_E=46.2778\ kW$

$v=1.804\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

flow rate of water, $\dot{V}=3400\ L.min^{-1}=3.4\ m^3.min^{-1}$

∵Density of water is 1 kg per liter

∴mass flow rate of water, $\dot{m}=3400\ kg.min^{-1}$

height of pumping, $h=75\ m$

efficiency of motor drive, $\eta=0.9$

diameter of pipe, $D =0.2\ m$

Now the power required for pumping the water at given conditions:

$P=\dot{m}.g.h$

$P=\frac{3400}{60} \times 9.8\times 75$

$P=41650\ W$

Hence the electric power required:

$P_E \times \eta=P$

$P_E \times 0.9=41650$

$P_E=46.2778\ kW$

Flow velocity is given as:

$v=\dot{V}\div a$

where: a = cross sectional area of flow through the pipe

$v=\frac{3.4}{60}\div (\pi.\frac{0.2^2}{4} )$

$v=1.804\ m.s^{-1}$

A 40.0-mH inductor is connected to a North American electrical outlet (ΔVrms = 120 V, f = 60.0 Hz). Assuming the energy stored i

trasher [3.6K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Inductance, $L=40\ mH=40\times 10^{-3}\ H$

RMS value of voltage, $v_{rms}=120\ V$

Frequency, f = 60 Hz

We need to find the energy stored at t = (1 /185) s. It is assumed that energy stored in the inductor is zero at t = 0. So,

The current flowing through the inductor is given by :

$I_t=\dfrac{V_o}{X_L}\ (sin\ \omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{\sqrt{2} V_{rms}}{X_L}\ (sin\ \omega t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt{2}}{2\pi f L}\ sin(2\pi f t-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt{2}}{2\pi\times 60\times 40\times 10^{-3}}\ sin(2\pi \times 60\times \dfrac{1}{185})-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

$I_t=\dfrac{120\sqrt2}{15.07}\ sin(2\pi \times 60\times \dfrac{1}{185}-\dfrac{\pi}{2})$

I = 0.091 A

Energy stored in the inductor is, $U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 40\times 10^{-3}\times (0.091)^2$

U = 0.000165 Joules

Hence, this is the required solution.

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res

BARSIC [14]

Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

(2/5) of (9 volts) = 18/5 = 3.6 volts .
