Answer:

44.95 tonnes

Explanation:

According to principle of buoyancy the object will just sink when it's weight is more than the weight of the liquid it displaces

It is given that empty weight of box = 40 tons

Let the mass of the stones to be placed be = M tonnes

Thus the combined mass of box and stones = (40+M) tonnes..........(i)

Since the box will displace water equal to it's volume V we have volume of box = 25ft*10ft*12ft= 3000ft^{3}

Volume= 84.95m^{3}

Since 1ft^{3} =0.028m^{3}

Now the weight of water displaced = Weight =\rho \times Volumewhererho is density of water = 1000kg/m^{3}

Thus weight of liquid displaced = \frac{84.95X1000}{1000}tonnes=84.95 tonnes..................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

40 + M = 84.95

thus Mass of stones = 44.95 tonnes

Which allows a user to run applications on a computing device? Group of answer choices Application software CSS Operating system
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The operating system

Explanation:

The job of the operating system is to manage system resources allowing the abstraction of the hardware, providing a simple user interface for the user.  The operating system is also responsible for handling application's access to system resources.

For this purpose, the operating system allows a user to run applications on their computing device.

Cheers.

A coil having resistance of 7 ohms and inductance of 31.8 mh is connected to 230v,50hz supply.calculate 1. The circuit current 2
lora16 [44]

(1) The current in the circuit is 18.87 A,

(2) The phase angle is 54.97°

(3) The power factor is 0.574

(4) The power consumed is 2491.2 W

(1) To calculate the current in the circuit, first, we need to find the overall impedance of the circuit.

We can calculate the overall impendence of the circuit using the formula below.

  • Z = √[R²+(2πfL)²]........................ Equation 1

Where:

  • R = resistance of the coil
  • f = Frequency
  • L = Inductance of the coil
  • Z = Overall impedance of the circuit

From the question,

Given:

  • R = 7 ohms
  • L = 31.8 mH = 0.0318 H
  • f = 50 Hz
  • π = 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • Z = √[7²+(2×3.14×50×0.0318)²]
  • Z = √(49+99.7)
  • Z = √(148.7)
  • Z = 12.19 ohms.

Therefore we use the formula below to calculate the current in the circuit.

  • I = V/Z.................. Equation 2

Where:

  • V = Voltage
  • I = current in the circuit.

Given:

  • V = 230 V.

Substitute into equation 2

  • I = 230/12.19
  • I = 18.87 A

(2) To calculate the phase angle, we use the formula below.

  • ∅ = tan⁻¹(2πfL/R)............... Equation 3

Where:

  • ∅ = Phase angle.


Substitute into equation 3

  • ∅ = tan⁻¹(2×3.14×50×0.0318/7)
  • ∅ = tan⁻¹(9.9852/7)
  • ∅ = tan⁻¹(1.426)
  • ∅ = 54.97°

(3) To calculate the power factor, we use the formula below.

  • pf = cos∅............ Equation 4

Where:

  • pf = power factor.

Substitute the value of ∅ into equation 4

  • pf = cos(54.97°)
  • pf = 0.574.

(4) And Finally to calculate the power consumed we use the formula below.

  • P = V×I×pf................ Equation 5

Where:

  • P = The power consumed

Substitute the values into equation 5

  • P = 230(18.87)(0.574)
  • P = 2491.22 W


Hence, (1) The current in the circuit is 18.87 A, (2) The phase angle is 54.97° (3) The power factor is 0.574 (4) The power consumed is 2491.2 W
