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.

Using the following data, determine the percentage retained, cumulative percentage retained, and percent passing for each sieve.

vekshin1

Solution :

Sieve Size (in) Weight retain(g)

3 1.62

2 2.17

$1\frac{1}{2}$ 3.62

$\frac{3}{4}$ 2.27

$\frac{3}{8}$ 1.38

PAN 0.21

Given :

Sieve weight % wt. retain % cumulative % finer

size retained wt. retain

No. 4 59.5 10.225% 10.225% 89.775%

No. 8 86.5 14.865% 25.090% 74.91%

No. 16 138 23.7154% 48.8054% 51.2%

No. 30 127.8 21.91% 70.7154% 29.2850%

No. 50 97 16.6695% 87.3849% 12.62%

No. 100 66.8 11.4796% 98.92% 1.08%

Pan 6.3 1.08% 100% 0%

581.9 gram

Effective size = percentage finer 10% ( $$$D_{20}$ )

0.149 mm, N 100, % finer 1.08

0.297, N 50 , % finer 12.62%

x , 10%

$y-1.08 = \frac{12.62 - 1.08}{0.297 - 0.149}(x-0.149)$

$(10-1.08) \times \frac{0.297 - 0.149}{12.62 - 1.08}+ 0.149=x$

x = 0.2634 mm

Effective size, $D_{10} = 0.2643 \ mm$

Now, N 16 (1.19 mm) , 51.2%

N 8 (2.38 mm) , 74.91%

x, 60%

$60-51.2 = \frac{74.91-51.2}{2.38-1.19}(x-1.19)$

x = 1.6317 mm

$\therefore D_{60} = 1.6317 \ mm$

Uniformity co-efficient = $\frac{D_{60}}{D_{10}}$

$Cu= \frac{1.6317}{0.2643}$

Cu = 6.17

Now, fineness modulus = $\frac{\Sigma \text{\ cumulative retain on all sieve }}{100}$

$=\frac{\Sigma (10.225+25.09+48.8054+70.7165+87.39+98.92+100)}{100}$

= 4.41

which lies between No. 4 and No. 5 sieve [4.76 to 4.00]

So, fineness modulus = 4.38 mm

Please help me with this. Plzzz.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

450,000m = 450km = 4.5E5

32,600,000W = 32.6MW = 3.26E7

59,700,000,000cal = 59.7Gcal = 5.97E10

0.000000083s = 83ns = 8.3E-8

35,000Ω = 35kΩ = 3.5E4

Explanation:

Giga = 1,000,000,000

Mega = 1,000,000

kilo = 1,000

unit = 1

deci = .1

centi = .01

milli = .001

micro = .000001

nano = .0000000001

pico = .000000000001

You should be able to look at these and convert between them in seconds if you want to pursue anything in engineering.
