Answer:

H=174.168ft

Explanation:

See diagram below.

First, calculate y using sine function:

sin(22)=\frac{y'}{215} \\y'=215sin(22)=80.540ft

Then, calculate x using cosine function:

cos(22)=\frac{x}{215} \\x=215cos(22)=199.345ft

Now use tangent to calculate y:

tan(52)=\frac{y+y'}{x} \\y=x*tan(52)-y'\\y = 174.168ft.

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours
Bogdan [553]
We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

 That's

==>  1,188,000,000 joules

==>  1,188,000 kilojoules

==>  1,188 megajoules

==>  1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy ! 
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with. 
That's no common ordinary household appliance.  110 kw is something like
147 horsepower.  In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole.  Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops.  And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.

Generate description of the right hand rule for finding the magnetic field around a current carrying wire an tell how it is used
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Right hand thumb rule : It is a rule used to find the magnetic field direction around current carrying wire .

Explanation:

It states that : "If you grasp conductor in your right hand such that thumb points in upward direction ,then the direction in which our finger curls gives the direction of magnetic field or magnetic lines of forces" .

This rule proves that :Current can give rise to magnetism .

Around every current carrying conductor there exist a magnetic field which can be easily felt .

According to this rule : When a current flows in upward direction ,the finger curls in anticlockwise direction and when direction of current reverses ,then the direction of field also reverses .
