Answer:

a) 8kW

b) $128

Explanation:

Given the coefficient of performance of the heat pump cycle to be 2.5

Energy delivered by the heat pump = 20kW

a) net power required to operate the heat pump = Energy delivered / coefficient of performance

Net power required = 20/2.5

= 8kW

b) Given the cost of electricity is $0.08 for 1kWhour

Since net power required to operate heat pump = 8kW

If the heat pump operate for 200hours, total power required for a month = 8kW×200hours = 1600kWhour

since 1kWh of electricity costs $0.08, cost of electricity used in a month when the pump operates for 200hour will be 1600kWh×$0.08 which is equivalent to $128

The 1000-lb elevator is hoisted by the pulley system and motor M. The motor exerts a constant force of 500 lb on the cable. The

klemol [59]

The power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

weight of the elevator, m = 1000 lb

Force on the table, F = 500 lb

Distance, s = 27 ft

Efficiency, ε = 0.65

Power = ?

According to the equation of motion:

F = ma

$3(500) - 1000 = \frac{1000}{32.2} * a$

a = 16.1 ft/s²

We know,

$v^2 - u^2 = 2a (S - So)\\\\v^2 - (0)^2 = 2 * 16.1 (27-0)\\\\v = 29.48m/s$

To calculate the output power:

Pout = F. v

Pout = 3 (500) * 29.48

Pout = 44220 lb.ft/s

As efficiency is given and output power is known, we can calculate the input power.

ε = Pout / Pin

0.65 = 44220 / Pin

Pin = 68030.8 lb.ft/s

Pin = 68030.8 / 500 hp

= 136 hp

Therefore, the power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

State the four advantages of levers

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Here are 2 sense i cant find 4

Explanation:

Levers are used to multiply force, In other words, using a lever gives you greater force or power than the effort you put in.

In a lever, if the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is longer than the distance from the load to the fulcrum, this gives a greater mechanical advantage.
