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.

Air flows at 45m/s through a right angle pipe bend with a constant diameter of 2cm. What is the overall force required to keep t

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

b)1.08 N

Explanation:

Given that

velocity of air V= 45 m/s

Diameter of pipe = 2 cm

Force exerted by fluid F

$F=\rho AV^2$

So force exerted in x-direction

$F_x=\rho AV^2$

$F_x=1.2\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.02^2\times 45^2$

F=0.763 N

So force exerted in y-direction

$F_y=\rho AV^2$

$F_y=1.2\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times 0.02^2\times 45^2$

F=0.763 N

So the resultant force R

$R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

$R=\sqrt{0.763^2+0.763^2}$

R=1.079

So the force required to hold the pipe is 1.08 N.

schepotkina [342]

Answer: 150m

Explanation:

The following can be depicted from the question:

Dimensions of outer walls = 9.7m × 14.7m.

Thickness of the wall = 0.30 m

Therefore, the plinth area of the building will be:

= (9.7 + 0.30/2 + 0.30/2) × (14.7 × 0.30/2 + 0.30/2)

= 10 × 15

= 150m

Radioactive wastes are temporarily stored in a spherical container, the center of which is buried a distance of 10 m below the e

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Outside temperature =88.03°C

Explanation:

Conductivity of air-soil from standard table

K=0.60 W/m-k

To find temperature we need to balance energy

Heat generation=Heat dissipation

Now find the value

We know that for sphere

$q=\dfrac{2\pi DK}{1-\dfrac{D}{4H}}(T_1-T_2)$

Given that q=500 W

$500=\dfrac{2\pi 2\times .6}{1-\dfrac{2}{4\times 10}}(T_1-25)$

By solving that equation we get

$T_2$ =88.03°C

So outside temperature =88.03°C
