Answer:

(a) 441 W (b) 0.59 hP

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a woman, m = 60 kg

Height of a staircase, h = 15 m

Time, t = 20 s

(a) We need to find the power she expend. Work done per unit time is called power. It is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{60\times 9.8\times 15}{20}\\\\P=441\ W$

( b) Since, 1 hP = 745.7 W

P = 0.59 hP

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w

Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater

Determine the maximum shearing stress in a solid shaft of 1.5-in. diameter as it transmits 75 hp at a speed of 1800 rpm. (Round

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$\tau=3.96\ ksi$

Explanation:

Given that

d= 1.5 in ( 1 in = 0.0254 m)

d= 0.0381 m

P= 75 hp ( 1 hp = 745.7 W)

P= 55927.5 W

N= 1800 rpm

We know that power P is given as

$P=\dfrac{2\pi N\ T}{60}$

T=Torque

N=Speed

$55927.5=\dfrac{2\times \pi \times 1800\ T}{60}$

T=296.85 N.m

The maximum shear stress is given as

$\tau=\dfrac{16 T}{\pi d^3}$

$\tau=\dfrac{16\times 296.85}{\pi \times 0.0381^3}$

$\tau=27.35\ MPa$

We know that 1 MPa =0.145 ksi

$\tau=3.96\ ksi$
