An industrial firm has two electrical loads connected in parallel across the power source. Power is supplied to the firm at 4000

V rms. One load is 30 kW of heating use, and the other load is a set of motors that together operate as a load at 0.6 lagging power factor and at 150 kVA. Determine the total current and the plant power factor.

Answer:

I = 27.65A < 40.59°

PowerFactor = 0.76

Explanation:

Current on the heating load is:

I1 = 30KW / 4KV = 7.5A < 0°

Current on the inductive load:

I2 = (150KVA*0.6) /4KV = 22.5A  with an angle of acos(0.6)=53.1°

The sum of both currents is:

It = I1 + I2 = 7.5<0° + 22.5<53.1° = 27.65<40.59°

Now, the power factor will be:

pf = cos (40.59°) = 0.76

Consider the 65 N light fixture supported as in the figure. Find the tension in the supporting wires.
ASHA 777 [7]

By using Lami's theorem formula, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons

TENSION

  • Tension is also a force having Newton as S.I unit.
  • The tension in the wire will be the same.

This question can be solved by using either vector diagram or by using  Lami's theorem.

The sum of two given angles  = 42 + 42 = 84 degrees

The third angle = 180 - 84 = 96 degrees.

Below is the Lami's theorem formula

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } = \frac{T}{sin\beta } = \frac{W}{sinY}

Where

\alpha  = \beta = 42 + 90 = 132 degrees

Y = 96 degrees

W = 65 N

By using the formula, we have

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } =  \frac{W}{sinY}

T/sin 132 = 65/sin96

Cross multiply

T = 0.743 x 65.57

T = 48.56 N

Therefore, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons approximately.

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:

- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction

- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction

- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction

In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Just above the pole (top-most red circle)

Explanation:

Polaris is used to identify North direction. Since, the Earth rotates on its axis which is along North-south, Polaris never seems to rise and set from the Northern hemisphere. This is because Polaris lies above north pole. Thus, in the given diagram, Polaris is above the North pole on the axis represented by top-most red circle.
