An airplane flies horizontally at 80 m/s. Its propeller delivers 1300 N of thrust (forward force) to overcome aerodynamic drag (

backward force). Using dimensional reasoning and unity conversion ratios, calculate the useful power delivered by the propeller in units of kW and horsepower.

Answer:

Power in kW is 104 kW

Power in horsepower is 139.41 hp

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the airplane, v_{a} = 80 m/s

Force exerted by the propeller, F_{p} = 1300 N

Now,

The useful power that the propeller delivered, P_{p}:

P_{p} = \frac{Energy}{time, t}

Here, work done provides the useful energy

Also, Work done is the product of the displacement, 'x' of an object when acted upon by some external force.

Thus

P_{p} = \frac{F_{p}\times x}{time, t}

P_{p} = \frac{F_{p}\times x}{time, t}

P_{p} = F_{p}\times v_{a}

Now, putting given values in it:

P_{p} = 1300\times 80 = 104000 W = 104 kW

In horsepower:

1 hp = 746 W

Thus

P_{p} = \frac{104000}{746} = 139.41 hp

6.28 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Assume Base free flow speed (BFFS) = 70 mph

Lane width = 10 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lane width, fLW = 6.6 mph

Lateral Clearance = 4 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lateral clearance, fLC = 0.8 mph

Interchanges/Ramps = 9/ 6 miles = 1.5 /mile

Reduction in speed corresponding to Interchanges/ramps, fID = 5 mph

No. of lanes = 3

Reduction in speed corresponding to number of lanes, fN = 3 mph

Free Flow Speed (FFS) = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fN – fID = 70 – 6.6 – 0.8 – 3 – 5 = 54.6 mph

Peak Flow, V = 2000 veh/hr

Peak 15-min flow = 600 veh

Peak-hour factor = 2000/ (4*600) = 0.83

Trucks and Buses = 12 %

RVs = 6 %

Rolling Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.12 (2.5-1) + 0.06 (2.0-1)) = 1/1.24 = 0.806

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 2000/ (0.83*3*0.806*1.0) = 996.54 ~ 997 veh/hr/ln

Vp < (3400 – 30 FFS)

S = FFS

S = 54.6 mph

Density = Vp/S = (997) / (54.6) = 18.26 veh/mi/ln

How do we find percentage error in measuring voltage across a resistor​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

  use the percentage error relation

Explanation:

The percentage error in anything is computed from ...

  %error = ((measured value)/(accurate value) -1) × 100%

__

The difficulty with voltage measurements is that the "accurate value" may be hard to determine. It can be computed from the nominal values of circuit components, but there is no guarantee that the components actually have those values.

Likewise, the measuring device may have errors. It may or may not be calibrated against some standard, but even measurement standards have some range of possible error.

if two or more resistors are connected in parallel, the total resistance is _ than any single resistor
Andreas93 [3]
Parallel Resistor Equation
If the two resistances or impedances in parallel are equal and of the same value, then the total or equivalent resistance, RT is equal to half the value of one resistor. That is equal to R/2 and for three equal resistors in parallel, R/3, etc.
