Answer:

8.85 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is resistivity of the material,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross sectional area.

For a round wire, A = πr² = ¼πd².

For aluminum, ρ is 2.65×10⁻⁸ Ωm, or 8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft.

Given L = 500 ft and d = 0.03 in = 0.0025 ft:

R = (8.69×10⁻⁸ Ωft) (500 ft) / (¼π (0.0025 ft)²)

R = 8.85 Ω

Natalija [7]

Answer:

For $20^{\circ}$ - 5.556 lb/s

For $15^{\circ}$ - 7.4047 lb/s

Solution:

As per the question:

System Load = 96000 Btuh

Temperature, T = $20^{\circ}$

Temperature rise, T' = $15^{\circ}$

Now,

The system load is taken to be at constant pressure, then:

Specific heat of air, $C_{p} = 0.24 btu/lb ^{\circ}F$

Now, for a rise of $20^{\circ}$ in temeprature:

$\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000$

$\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 20} = 20000 lb/h = \frac{20000}{3600} = 5.556 lb/s$

Now, for $15^{\circ}$ :

$\dot{m}C_{p}\Delta T = 96000$

$\dot{m} = \frac{96000}{C_{p}\Delta T} = \frac{96000}{0.24\times 15} = 26666.667 lb/h = \frac{26666.667}{3600} = 7.4074 lb/s$

Brut [27]

Answer:

μ=0.329, 2.671 turns.

Explanation:

(a) ln(T2/T1)=μβ β=angle of contact in radians

take T2 as greater tension value and T1 smaller, otherwise the friction would be opposite.

T2=5000 lb and T1=80 lb

we have two full turns which makes total angle of contact=4π radians

μ=ln(T2/T1)/β=(ln(5000/80))/4π

μ=0.329

(b) using the same relation as above we will now compute the angle of contact.

take greater tension as T2 and smaller as T1.

T2=20000 lb T1=80 lb μ=0.329

β=ln(20000/80)/0.329=16.7825 radians

divide the angle of contact by 2π to obtain number of turns.

16.7825/2π =2.671 turns
