Explain why the following scenario fails to meet the definition of a project description.

An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. The

Mila [183]

Answer:

a) Current drawn by the toaster = 15A

Current drawn by the electric frying pan = 11.67A

Current drawn by the lamp = 0.625A

b) This combination will blow the 15A fuse as the total current requirement for this setup exceeds the 15A rating of the fuse.

Explanation:

a) For parallel connection, there exists, the same voltage and different currents across all the devices.

Voltage cross each of the 3 devices = outlet voltage of 120V

From their respective power rating, current drawn by each device will be calculated.

P = IV

For the toaster, P = 1800 W, V = 120V

I = 1800/120 = 15A

For the electric frying pan, P = 1400 W, V = 120 V

I = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

For the lamp, P = 75 W, V = 120V

I = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Total current in a parallel connection setup = Sum total of all the currents.

Total current drawn by all 3 devices = 15 + 11.67 + 0.625 = 27.295A = 27.3 A

This total current requirement surpasses the 15A current rating of the fuse, therefore, this combination will blow the fuse.

Hope this Helps!!!

Give me some examples of fragile structures.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

i don't know if this help tell me if i am wrong

Explanation:

Gravity is the force that pulls all elements of matter together. Matter refers to things you can physically touch. The more matter there is, the greater the amount of gravity or force. This means that the Earth or other planets have a great deal of pull and that everything on Earth is pulled back to Earth.

Some examples of the force of gravity include:

The force that holds the gases in the sun.

The force that causes a ball you throw in the air to come down again.

The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.

The force that causes a glass you drop to fall to the floor.

Timken rates its bearings for 3000 hours at 500 rev/min. Determine the catalog rating for a ball bearing running for 10000 hours

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

C₁₀ = 6.3 KN

Explanation:

The catalog rating of a bearing can be found by using the following formula:

C₁₀ = F [Ln/L₀n₀]^1/3

where,

C₁₀ = Catalog Rating = ?

F = Design Load = 2.75 KN

L = Design Life = 1800 rev/min

n = No. of Hours Desired = 10000 h

L₀ = Rating Life = 500 rev/min

n₀ = No. of Hours Rated = 3000 h

Therefore,

C₁₀ = [2.75 KN][(1800 rev/min)(10000 h)/(500 rev/min)(3000 h)]^1/3

C₁₀ = (2.75 KN)(2.289)
