61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A

and a voltage of 110 V, a lamp that contains a 100-W bulb, an overhead light with a 60-W bulb, and various other small devices adding up to 3.00 W. (a) Assuming the power plant that supplies 110 V electricity to the dorm is 10 km away and the two aluminum transmission cables use 0-gauge wire with a diameter of 8.252 mm, estimate the percentage of the total power supplied by the power company that is lost in the transmission. (b) What would be the result is the power company delivered the electric power at 110 kV?

Answer:

Part a)

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4

here we have

P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W

P_2 = 100 W

P_3 = 60 W

P_4 = 3 W

P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3

P = 493 W

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

110\times i = 493

i = 4.48 A

now resistance of transmission line

R = \frac{\rho L}{A}

R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}

R = 5.23 \ohm

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48)^2(5.23)

P = 105 W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493

i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)

P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).
Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

When the cylinder is displaced slightly along its vertical axis it will oscillate about its equilibrium position with a frequenc
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE

Explanation:

We can simulate this system as a physical pendulum, which is a pendulum with a distributed mass, in this case the angular velocity is

          w² = mg d / I

In this case, the distance d to the pivot point of half the length (L) of the cylinder, which we consider long and narrow

         d = L / 2

The moment of inertia of a cylinder with respect to an axis at the end we can use the parallel axes theorem, it is approximately equal to that of a long bar plus the moment of inertia of the center of mass of the cylinder, this is tabulated

        I = ¼ m r2 + ⅓ m L2

        I = m (¼ r2 + ⅓ L2)

now let's use the concept of density to calculate the mass of the system

        ρ = m / V

        m = ρ V

the volume of a cylinder is

         V = π r² L

          m =  ρ π r² L

let's substitute

        w² = m g (L / 2) / m (¼ r² + ⅓ L²)

        w² = g L / (½ r² + 2/3 L²)

        L >> r

         w = √[g /L (½ r²/L2 + 2/3 ) ]

When the mass of the cylinder changes if its external dimensions do not change the angular velocity DOES NOT CHANGE
