You are an electrician on the job. The electrical blueprint shows that eight 500-W lamps are to be installed on the same circuit

. The circuit voltage is 277V and is protected by a 20-A circuit breaker. A continuous-use circuit can be loaded to only 80% of its rating. Is a 20-A circuit large enough to carry this load

Answer:

I = 14.44A

Explanation:

calculating 80% of the circuit breaker current

I = (80/100)20A = 16A

eight 500W lamps are to be installed on the circuit. assume they are connected in parallel

total power = 500 x 8 = 4000W

power = voltage x current

current = power/voltage = 4000W/277V = 14.4A

The current obtained is less than 80% of the circuit breaker.

20A circuit breaker is large enough to carry the load.

Answer:

5.70 m

Explanation:

3sₐ + sB = L

3∆sₐ = - ∆sB

3vₐ = -vB

3*3 = -vB

vB = -9 ms⁻²

T₁ + V₁ = T₂ + V₂

(0 + 0) + (0 + 0) =  1/2(20)(3)² + 1/2(30)(-9)² + 20*9.81*(sB/3) + 30*9.81* sB

0 =  90  +  1215  - 228.9sB

-1305 = - 228.9sB

sB = 1305/228.9 = 5.70 m

As the temperature of a thermal radiator is increased Group of answer choices the object appears redder. the object appears blue
Elanso [62]

Answer:

As the temperature of a thermal radiator is increased

Group of answer choices

  • the object appears redder.
  • the object appears bluer.
  • the object emits more power for the same area.
  • the object emits less power for the same area.
  • the object expands to keep the same power per units area.

<em>When the temperature of a thermal radiator increases ;</em>

  • <em>the object emits more power for the same are</em>
  • <em>the object becomes bluer</em>

Explanation:

Thermal radiation involves the transfer of heat between molecules of two substances without direct contact with each other. When a body is heated to a given temperature it begins to emit light which is transferred to nearby objects as thermal radiation. The medium through which the heat is transferred could be liquid, solid, or in a vacuum.

<h3>How temperature affects thermal radiation.</h3>

Temperature determines the amount of heat that is been radiated from a body. An increase in temperature would increase the thermal radiation of the body. The increase in the heat radiation results to increase in the thermal energy of the body. Also when a body is heated it tends to be bluer than a cool object, this is caused by the rapid movement of the molecules.

Therefore When the temperature of a thermal radiator increases ;

  • the object emits more power for the same are
  • the object becomes bluer

Nataly [62]

Answer:

P = 4.745 kips

Explanation:

Given

ΔL = 0.01 in

E = 29000 KSI

D = 1/2 in  

LAB = LAC = L = 12 in

We get the area as follows

A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²

Then we use the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)

For AB:

ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB

For AC:

ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC

Now, we use the condition

ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in

⇒  ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in

Knowing that   PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P

we have

(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in

⇒  P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

The pic shown can help to understand the question.
