An 1,840 W toaster, a 1,420 W electric frying pan, and a 70 W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15 A, 120 V circuit. (T

Viktor [21]

Answer:

A)

Current drawn by toaster = 15.33 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan = 11.83 A

Current drawn by lamp = 0.58 A

B)

The fuse will definitely blow up since the current drawn by three devices (27.74 A) is way higher than 15 A fuse rating.

Explanation:

There are three devices plugged into the same outlet.

Toaster = 1840 W

Electric frying pan = 1420 W

Lamp = 70 W

Since the three devices are connected in parallel therefore, the voltage across them will be same but the current drawn by each will be different.

A) What current is drawn by each device?

The current flowing through the device is given by

I = P/V

Where P is the power and V is the voltage.

Current drawn by toaster:

I = 1840/120

I = 15.33 A

Current drawn by electric frying pan:

I = 1420/120

I = 11.83 A

Current drawn by lamp:

I = 70/120

I = 0.58 A

B) Will this combination blow the 15-A fuse?

The total current drawn by all three devices is

Total current = 15.33 + 11.83 + 0.58

Total current = 27.74 A

Therefore, the fuse will definitely blow up since the current drawn by three devices (27.74 A) is way higher than 15 A fuse rating.

An aircraft is flying at 300 mph true airspeed has a 50 mph tailwind. What is its ground speed?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

304.13 mph

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

The Speed of the flying aircraft = 300 mph

Tailwind of the true airspeed = 50 mph

Now,

The ground speed will be calculated as:

ground speed = $\sqrt{300^2+50^2}$

or

The ground speed = $\sqrt{92500}$

or

The ground speed = 304.13 mph

Hence, the ground speed is 304.13 mph

Air enters a diffuser operating at steady state at 540°R, 15 lbf/in.2, with a velocity of 600 ft/s, and exits with a velocity of

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: Hello the question is incomplete below is the missing part

Question: determine the temperature, in °R, at the exit

answer:

T2= 569.62°R

Explanation:

T1 = 540°R

V2 = 600 ft/s

V1 = 60 ft/s

h1 = 129.0613 ( value gotten from Ideal gas property-air table )

<em>first step : calculate the value of h2 using the equation below </em>

assuming no work is done ( potential energy is ignored )

h2 = [ h1 + ( V2^2 - V1^2 ) / 2 ] * 1 / 32.2 * 1 / 778

∴ h2 = 136.17 Btu/Ibm

From Table A-17

we will apply interpolation

attached below is the remaining part of the solution
