How is the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle calculated?

2 answers:

8 0

Mechanical Advantage is the value which tells us the factor by which the machine is able to convert the force applied to it to its output.

Ideal Mechanical Advantage of wheel and axle is calculated by

IMA = Wheel Radius / Axle Radius

By virtue, the higher the computed IMA the lower the force needed to be exerted, this is the purpose for using machine, lower input force but larger output. (The smalled the axle radius compared to the wheel radius is the better setup.)

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.

How would radiation occur in space?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.

The maximum pressure variations the human ear can withstand are about how much above and below atmospheric pressure?

Crank

The maximum pressure variations the human ear can withstand above and below atmospheric pressure is around 30 pa. the normal atmospheric pressure is around 101325 pa. hence the variation in the maximum pressure for human ear is very small as compared to the atmospheric pressure. if the ear is exposed to a pressure greater than this , it can cause permanent damage to the ear.

An inverse-time circuit breaker (CB) is used for branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection for a 30-horsepower, 2

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Motor rating is given in horsepower (hp), it will be converted in watt (W).

Standard to install circuit breaker for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Rated Current of the circuit

while

Standard to install overload relay for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Running Current of the circuit.

So, to find the maximum capacity of the circuit breaker, rated current of the motor will be multiplied by 1.2 ~ 1.25

Step by Step Explanation:

30hp = 22371W (as 1hp = 745.7)

Assuming unity power factor (cosФ=1) and 208V phase to phase voltage:

Rated Power (watt) = √3 . V.I. cosФ

{if 208V is phase to neutral voltage, then use following formula:

Rated Power (watt) = 3 . V.I. cosФ}

$\frac{22371}{\sqrt{3} * 208 * 1} = I$

Rated Current = 62.169A

So, required maximum rating for circuit breaker is:

20% to 25% of the rated current = 62.17*1.2 ~ 62.17*1.25

=74.6A ~ 77.7A

Hence, any breaker between the above mentioned rating will be appropriate.
