From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p

ower. (Assuming no frictional losses or kinetic energy change taking place), determine the overall efficiency of the pump-motor unit. (Take gravitational acceleration as 10 m/s2).

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

This model shows an example of a fog bank formation. This can happen in the Great Lakes area as warm summer air moves across the
Vadim26 [7]

Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.

<h3>How Fog banks formed?</h3>

Fog banks form at sea where cool air moves quickly over the surface of the ocean that is warm. The cool incoming air lowers the temperature of the air just above the water surface and water vapor condenses into fog.

So we can conclude that Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.
