Answer:
particles of a solid object packed together
Answer:
You need a 120V to 24V commercial transformer (transformer 1:5), a 100 ohms resistance, a 1.5 K ohms resistance and a diode with a minimum forward current of 20 mA (could be 1N4148)
Step by step design:
- Because you have a 120V AC voltage supply you need an efficient way to reduce that voltage as much as possible before passing to the rectifier, for that I recommend a standard 120V to 24V transformer. 120 Vrms = 85 V and 24 Vrms = 17V = Vin
- Because 17V is not 15V you still need a voltage divider to step down that voltage, for that we use R1 = 100Ω and R2 = 1.3KΩ. You need to remember that more than 1 V is going to be in the diode, so for our calculation we need to consider it. Vf = (V*R2)/(R1+R2), V = Vin - 1 = 17-1 = 16V and Vf = 15, Choosing a fix resistance R1 = 100Ω and solving the equation we find R2 = 1.5KΩ
- Finally to select the diode you need to calculate two times the maximum current and that would be the forward current (If) of your diode. Imax = Vf/R2 = 10mA and If = 2*Imax = 20mA
Our circuit meet the average voltage (Va) specification:
Va = (15)/(pi) = 4.77V considering the diode voltage or 3.77V without considering it
Answer:
The costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.
Explanation:
Given that the clothes dryer in my home has a power rating of 2250 Watts, and to dry one typical load of clothes the dryer will run for approximately 45 minutes, and in Ontario, the cost of electricity is $ 0.11 / kWh, to calculate the costs to run the dryer for one year the following calculation must be performed:
1 watt = 0.001 kilowatt
2250/45 = 50 watts per minute
45 x 365 = 16,425 / 60 = 273.75 hours of consumption
50 x 60 = 300 watt = 0.3 kw / h
0.3 x 273.75 = 82.125
82.125 x 0.11 = 9.03
Therefore, the costs to run the dryer for one year are $ 9.03.
Answer:
The resultant moment is 477.84 N·m
Explanation:
We note that the resultant moment is given by the moment about a given point
The length of the sides of the formed triangles are;
l = sin(40°) × 4/sin(110°) ≈ 2.736
Taking the moment about the lower left hand corner of the figure, with the convention that clockwise moments are positive, we have;
The resultant moment, ∑m, is given as follow;
∑M = 250 N × 4 m + 400 N × cos(40°) × 4 m - 400 N × cos(40°) × 2 m + 400 N × sin(40°) × 2 m × tan(40°) - 600 N × cos(40°) × 2 m - 600 N× sin(40°) × 2 m × tan(40°) = 477.837084 N·m
Therefore, the resultant moment, ∑m ≈ 477.84 N·m clockwise.
