Answer:

design angle ∅ = 4.9968 ≈ 5⁰

Explanation:

First calculate the force Fac :

Fac = $\sqrt{400^2 + 650^2 - 2(400)(650)cos30}$

= $\sqrt{160000 + 422500 - 80210}$

= 708.72 Ib

using the sine law to determine the design angle

$\frac{sin}{400} = \frac{sin 30}{Fac}$

hence ∅ = $sin^{-1} (\frac{sin 30 *400}{708.72} )$

= $sin^{-1} 0.0871$ = 4.9968 ≈ 5⁰

COmmunication Devices

Explanation:

TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet. TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (an intranet or an extranet).

The sequence number in a header is used to keep track of which segment out of many this particular segment might be. The next field, the acknowledgment number, is a lot like the sequence number. The acknowledgment number is the number of the next expected segment.

The 32 bit sequence number field defines the number assigned to the first byte of data contained in this segment. TCP is a stream transport protocol. To ensure connectivity, each byte to be transmitted is numbered.

a) A total charge Q = 23.6 μC is deposited uniformly on the surface of a hollow sphere with radius R = 26.1 cm. Use ε0 = 8.85419

dusya [7]

Answer:

(a) E = 0 N/C

(b) E = 0 N/C

(c) E = 7.78 x10^5 N/C

Explanation:

We are given a hollow sphere with following parameters:

Q = total charge on its surface = 23.6 μC = 23.6 x 10^-6 C

R = radius of sphere = 26.1 cm = 0.261 m

Permittivity of free space = ε0 = 8.85419 X 10−12 C²/Nm²

The formula for the electric field intensity is:

E = (1/4πεo)(Q/r²)

where, r = the distance from center of sphere where the intensity is to be found.

(a)

At the center of the sphere r = 0. Also, there is no charge inside the sphere to produce an electric field. Thus the electric field at center is zero.

<u>E = 0 N/C</u>

(b)

Since, the distance R/2 from center lies inside the sphere. Therefore, the intensity at that point will be zero, due to absence of charge inside the sphere (q = 0 C).

<u>E = 0 N/C</u>

(c)

Since, the distance of 52.2 cm is outside the circle. So, now we use the formula to calculate the Electric Field:

E = (1/4πεo)[(23.6 x 10^-6 C)/(0.522m)²]

<u>E = 7.78 x10^5 N/C</u>

An object of mass 521 kg, initially having a velocity of 90 m/s, decelerates to a final velocity of 14 m/s. What is the change i

Harman [31]

Answer:2058.992KJ

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of object $\left ( m\right )$ =521kg

initial velocity $\left ( v_0\right )$ =90m/s

Final velocity $\left ( v\right )$ =14m/s

kinetic energy of body is given by= $\frac{1}{2}$ $m$ $v^{2}$

change in kinectic energy is given by substracting final kinetic energy from initial kinetic energy of body.

Change in kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}\times m$ $\left ( V_0^{2}-V^2\right )$

Change in kinetic energy= $\frac{1}{2}\times521$ $\left ( 90^{2}-14^2\right )$

Change in kinetic energy=2058.992KJ

An industrial plant consists of several 60 Hz single-phase motors with low power factor. The plant absorbs 600 kW with a power f

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) $Q=332$ $kvar$ and $C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) $pf=0.90$ lagging

Explanation:

Given Data:

$P=600kW$

$V=12.47kV$

$f=60Hz$

$pf_{old} =0.75$

$pf_{new} =0.95$

(a) Find the required kVAR rating of a capacitor

$\alpha _{old}=cos^{-1}(0.75) =41.41$ °

$\alpha _{new}=cos^{-1}(0.95) =18.19$ °

The required compensation reactive power can be found by

$Q=P(tan(\alpha_{old}) - tan(\alpha_{new}))$

$Q=600(tan(41.41) - tan(18.19))$

$Q=332$ $kvar$

The corresponding capacitor value can be found by

$C=Q/2\pi fV^{2}$

$C=332/2*\pi *60*12.47^{2}$

$C=5.66$ $uF$

(b) calculate the resultant supply power factor

First convert the hp into kW

$P_{mech} =250*746=186.5$ $kW$

Find the electrical power (real power) of the motor

$P_{elec} =P_{mech}/n$

where $n$ is the efficiency of the motor

$P_{elec} =186.5/0.80=233.125$ $kW$

The current in the motor is

$I_{m} =(P/\*V*pf)$

The pf of motor is 0.85 Leading

Note that represents the angle in complex notation (polar form)

$I_{m} =(233.125/12.47*0.85)$

$I_{m}=18.694+11.586$ $j$ $A$

Now find the Load current

pf of load is 0.75 lagging (notice the minus sign)

$I_{load} =(600/12.47*0.75)$

$I_{load} =48.115-42.433$ $j$ $A$

Now the supply current is the current flowing in the load plus the current flowing in the motor

$I_{supply} =I_{m} + I_{load}$

$I_{supply}= (18.694+11.586)+(48.115-42.433)$

$I_{supply} =66.809-30.847j$ $A$

or in polar form

$I_{supply} =73.58$ °

Which means that the supply current lags the supply voltage by 24.78

therefore, the supply power factor is

$pf=cos(24.78)=0.90$ lagging

Which makes sense because original power factor was 0.75 then we installed synchronous motor which resulted in improved power factor of 0.90
