A 78-percent efficient 12-hp pump is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.5 ft3/s through a constant-diamet

er pipe. The free surface of the pool is 32 ft above that of the lake. Determine the irreversible head loss of the piping system, in ft, and the mechanical power used to overcome it. Take the density of water to be 62.4 lbm/ft3.

Answer:

irreversible head loss is 38.51 ft

mechanical power 6.55 hp

Explanation:

Given data:

Pump Power 12 hp = 8948.39 watt = 6600 lbs ft/sec

Q = 1.5 ft^3/s

Pump actually delivers P'  = \eta P = 0.78 \times 8948.39 = 6979.74 watt

Power that water gains= mgh = \rho \phi gh = r \phi h

P = 62.4 \times 1.5 \times 32 = 2995.2 lbs ft/sec

hence Power lost = 6600 - 2995.2  3604.8 lbs ft/sec = 6.55 hp

head losshl = \frac{3604.8}{r \phi} = \frac{3604.8}{62.4 \times 1.5}

hl = 38.51 ft

1. A first class lever in statistics equilibrium has a 75 Ib resistance force and a 20 Ib effort force. The lever's effort force
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

1. 3.75

2. 1.39 ft

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the resistance force to the effort force.

MA = 75 lb / 20 lb

MA = 3.75

The sum of the torques about the fulcrum equals zero.

∑τ = Iα

(20 lb) (5.2 ft) − (75 lb) x = 0

x = 1.39 ft

Round as needed.

14. A digital computer has a memory unit with 32 bits per word. The instruction set consists of 110 different operations. All in
Fofino [41]

Answer:

7 bits

Explanation:

Given

Instruction Set = 110 operation

Memory unit = 32 bits per word.

We get the required bits by using the following formula

2^n = 110

But 110 is not a factor of 2.

So, we pick the nearest decimal number greater than 110 that is a power of 2.

The number is 128

2^n = 110 becomes

2^n = 128

2^n = 2^7 ---- 2 cancels out

So,

n = 7

Hence, the required number of bits needed for the opcode is 7 bits
