Answer:

130 dB

Explanation:

The equation for decibel level is given by:

$D=10log(\frac{I}{I_n} )\\\\Where\ D\ is\ the \ decibel\ level\ in\ dB, I\ is\ the\ intensity\ in \ W/m^2, \\I_n\ is\ threshold\ intensity\ to\ the\ human\ ear=1*10^{-12}W/m^2\\\\Given\ that\ D=125dB, hence:\\\\125=10log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\12.5=log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\I=3.2\ W/m^2$

The intensity for 1 jack hammer is 3.2 W/m², therefore for 3 jack hammers, the intensity = 3 * 3.2 = 9.6 W/m²

$D=10\ log(\frac{I}{I_n} )\\\\D=10*log(\frac{9.6}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\D=130\ dB$

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an

posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle $\theta=30°$

We need to calculate the angle in radian

$\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta=0.523\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

$Path\ length =angle\times radius$

$Path\ length=0.523\times5.9$

$Path\ length =3.09\ m$

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=30\times5.9$

$Path\ length=177\ m$

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

$\theta=30\times2\pi$

$\theta=188.4\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=188.4\times5.9$

$Path\ length =1111.56\ m$

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Many industries are powered via distant power stations. Calculate the current flowing through a 7,300m long 10. copper power lin

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Current, I = 1000 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 7300 m

Resistance of copper line, R = 10 ohms

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

$\mu_o=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ T-m/A$

Resistivity, $\rho=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

We need to find the current flowing the copper wire. Firstly, we need to find the radius of he power line using physical dimensions as :

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}$

$R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi r^2}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho l}{R\pi}}$

$r=\sqrt{\dfrac{1.72\times 10^{-8}\times 7300}{10\pi}}$

r = 0.00199 m

or

$r=1.99\times 10^{-3}\ m=2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

The magnetic field on a current carrying wire is given by :

$B=\dfrac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi rB}{\mu_o}$

$I=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.1\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}}$

I = 1000 A

So, the current of 1000 A is flowing through the copper wire. Hence, this is the required solution.
