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

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

price = 380
dollar = (price // 100) + 1
print(dollar)

Explanation:

Presume the an item cost 380 cents and we set 380 to the variable price (Line 1). To estimate the number of single dollars to be paid, we can use // operator to divide price by 100 and we will get 3 (the remaining decimal point will be discarded). Then we add 3 by one. So the expression is

(price//100) + 1

*The reason we divide price by 100 is because 1 dollar = 100 cents

Draw the free-body diagram of the beam which supports the 80-kg load and is supported by the

Sauron [17]

The free-body diagram of the beam which supports the 80-kg load and is supported by the pin at A can be seen in the image attached below.

The first image shows the diagram of the beam and the second image shows the free-body diagram of the beam.

The resolution of forces in the system is well understood by the principle of equilibrium where a stationary body will remain balanced when subject to parallel forces provided that the total sum of the overall external forces is zero.

The free-body diagram is a graphical representation used to visualize the forces applied to an object.

The equilibrium of forces on the x-axis is:

$\mathbf{\sum F_x = 0}$

The equilibrium of forces on the y-axis is:

$\mathbf{\sum F_y = 0}$

The equilibrium condition at any point is:

$\mathbf{\sum M = 0}$

From the free body diagram attached in the second image below,

the horizontal reaction is located at point A as $\mathbf{ A_x}$
the vertical reaction is located at point A as $\mathbf{A_y}$
the tension = T
the weight = W

Therefore, we can conclude that the free-body diagram of the beam which supports the 80-kg load and is supported by the pin at A can be seen in the image attached below.

An engine has a piston with a surface area of 17.31 in2 and can travel 3.44 inches. What is the potential change in volume, disp

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$$\begin{align*}

P(Y-X=m | Y > X) &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m, X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m | X=k, Y > X) P(X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-k=m | Y > k) P(X=k | Y > X).\end{split}$$

Explanation:

\eqalign{

P(Y-X=m\mid Y\gt X)

&=\sum_kP(Y-X=m,X=k\mid Y\gt X)\cr

&=\sum_kP(Y-X=m\mid X=k,Y\gt X)\,P(X=k\mid Y>X)\cr

&=\sum_kP(Y-k=m\mid Y\gt k)\,P(X=k\mid Y\gt X)\cr

}

P(Y-X=m | Y > X) &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m, X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-X=m | X=k, Y > X) P(X=k | Y > X) \\ &= \sum_{k} P(Y-k=m | Y > k) P(X=k | Y > X).\end{split}$$
