Answer:

I = 0.625 A

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of the light bulb, P = 75 W

Voltage of the circuit, V = 120 V

We need to find the current flowing through it. We know that, Power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

I is the electric current

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}\\\\I=\dfrac{75\ W}{120\ V}\\\\I=0.625\ A$

So, the current is 0.625 A.

Answer:

The pressure reduces to 2.588 bars.

Explanation:

According to Bernoulli's theorem for ideal flow we have

$\frac{P}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V^{2}}{2g}+z=constant$

Since the losses are neglected thus applying this theorm between upper and lower porion we have

$\frac{P_{u}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V-{u}^{2}}{2g}+z_{u}=\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{V{L}^{2}}{2g}+z_{L}$

Now by continuity equation we have

$A_{u}v_{u}=A_{L}v_{L}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{A_{u}}{A_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\v_{L}=\frac{d^{2}_{u}}{d^{2}_{L}}\times v_{u}\\\\\therefore v_{L}=\frac{2500}{900}\times 3.5\\\\\therefore v_{L}=9.72m/s$

Applying the values in the Bernoulli's equation we get

$\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=\frac{300000}{\gamma _{w}}+\frac{3.5^{2}}{2g}-\frac{9.72^{2}}{2g}(\because z_{L}=z_{u})\\\\\frac{P_{L}}{\gamma _{w}}=26.38m\\\\\therefore P_{L}=258885.8Pa\\\\\therefore P_{L}=2.588bars$

The 150-lb man sits in the center of the boat, which has a uniform width and a weight per linear foot of 3 lb>ft. Determine t

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

M = 281.25 lb*ft

Explanation:

Given

Wman = 150 lb

Weight per linear foot of the boat: q = 3 lb/ft

L = 15.00 m

Mmax = ?

Initially, we have to calculate the Buoyant Force per linear foot (due to the water exerts a uniform distributed load upward on the bottom of the boat):

∑ Fy = 0 (+↑) ⇒ q'*L - W - q*L = 0

⇒ q' = (W + q*L) / L

⇒ q' = (150 lb + 3 lb/ft*15 ft) / 15 ft

⇒ q' = 13 lb/ft (+↑)

The free body diagram of the boat is shown in the pic.

Then, we apply the following equation

q(x) = (13 - 3) = 10 (+↑)

V(x) = ∫q(x) dx = ∫10 dx = 10x (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

M(x) = ∫10x dx = 5x² (0 ≤ x ≤ 7.5)

The maximum internal bending moment occurs when x = 7.5 ft

then

M(7.5) = 5(7.5)² = 281.25 lb*ft

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 23.89 < -25.84 Ω

b) 31.38 < 25.84 A

c) 0.9323 leading

Explanation:

A) Calculate the load Impedance

current on load side = 0.75 p.u

power factor angle = 25.84

$I_{load}$ = 0.75 < 25.84°

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

B) Find the input current on the primary side in real units

load current in primary = 31.38 < 25.84 A

C) find the input power factor

power factor = 0.9323 leading

attached below is the detailed solution
