Answer:

the high temperature needed to operate this refrigerator is C) 137.4° C

Explanation:

Hello!

The carnot refrigeration cycle is one in which a machine absorbs heat from an enclosure and expels it to the surroundings, the equation that defines the COP performance coefficient for this cycle is:

COP=\frac{T1}{T2-T1}

COP=performance coefficient =2.1

T1=  Low temperature

T2=high temperature

Now use algebra to find the high temperature

COP=\frac{T1}{T2-T1}\\(T2-T1)=\frac{T1}{COP}\\T2=\frac{T1}{COP}+T1\\T2=T1(\frac{1}{COP} +1)

If we replace the values:

note = remember that the temperature must be in absolute units, for which we must add 273.15 to the low temperature to find the temperature in Kelvin

T1 = 5 + 273.15 = 278.15K

T2=278.15(\frac{1}{2.1} +1)=410.60k

In celsius

T2=410.60-273.15=137.4° C

the high temperature needed to operate this refrigerator is C) 137.4° C

Kamila [148]

Answer:

0.1667 m/s

Explanation:

m1V1 + m2V2 = m1V3 + m2V4

0.01 = ( 0.0075) + (0.015 * V4)

V4 = (0.01 - 0.0075) / (0.015)

V4= 0.1667

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Tension= 21,900N

Components of Normal force

Fnx= 17900N

Fny= 22700N

FN= 28900N

Explanation:

Tension in the cable is calculated by:

Etorque= -FBcostheta(1/2L)+FT(3/4L)-FWcostheta(L)= I&=0 static equilibrium

FTorque(3/4L)= FBcostheta(1/2L)+ FWcostheta(L)

Ftorque=(Fcostheta(1/2L)+FWcosL)/(3/4L)

Ftorque= 2/3FBcostheta+ 4/3FWcostheta

Ftorque=2/3(1350)(9.81)cos55° + 2/3(2250)(9.81)cos 55°

Ftorque= 21900N

b) components of Normal force

Efx=FNx-FTcos(90-theta)=0 static equilibrium

Fnx=21900cos(90-55)=17900N

Fy=FNy+ FTsin(90-theta)-FB-FW=0

FNy= -FTsin(90-55)+FB+FW

FNy= -21900sin(35)+(1350+2250)×9.81=22700N

The Normal force

FN=sqrt(17900^2+22700^2)

FN= 28.900N
