Answer:

A. $28

Explanation:

We have the load to be 240V

6000W will be converted to kilowatts

6000/1000 = 6kW

Time heater runs for 36 hours

Cost of electricity = $0.13/Kwh

The question needs us to find cost of running this electric heater

Total kilowatts

= 6kw x 36 hours

= 216kwh

Then the total cost = 216 x $0.13

= 28.08

= $28

If the rotational speed of a pump motor is reduced by 35%, what is the effect on the pump performance in terms of capacity, head
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

- the capacity of the pump reduces by 35%.

- the head gets reduced by 57%.

the power consumption by the pump is reduced by 72%

Explanation:

the pump capacity is related to the speed as speed is reduces by 35%

so new speed is (100 - 35) = 65% of orginal speed

speed Q ∝ N ⇒ Q1/Q2 = N1/N2

Q2 = (N2/N1)Q1    

Q2 = (65/100)Q1

which means that the capacity of the pump is also reduces by 35%.

the head in a pump is related by

H ∝ N² ⇒ H1/H2 = N1²/N2²

H2 = (N2N1)²H1

H2 = (65/100)²H1 = 0.4225H1

so the head gets reduced by 1 - 0.4225 = 0.5775 which is 57%.

Now The power requirement of a pump is related as

P ∝ N³ ⇒ P1/P2 = N1³/N2³

P2 = (N2/N1)³P1

H2 = (65/100)²P1 = 0.274P1

So the reduction in power is 1 - 0.274 = 0.725 which is 72%

Therefore for a reduction of 35% of speed there is a reduction of 72% of the power consumption by the pump.

A consolidation test was performed on a sample of fine-grained soil sample taken from a depth such that the vertical effective s
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The settlement that is expected is 1.043 meters.

Explanation:

Since the pre-consolidation stress of the layer is equal to the effective stress hence we conclude that the soil is normally consolidated soil

The settlement due to increase in the effective stress of a normally consolidated soil mass is given by the formula

\Delta H=\frac{H_oC_c}{1+e_o}log(\frac{\bar{\sigma_o}+\Delta \bar{\sigma }}{\bar{\sigma_o}})

where

'H' is the initial depth of the layer

C_c is the Compression index

e_o is the inital void ratio

\bar{\sigma_o} is the initial effective stress at the depth

\Delta \bar{\sigma_o} is the change in the effective stress at the given depth

Applying the given values we get

\Delta H=\frac{8\times 0.3}{1+0.87}log(\frac{154+28}{154})=1.04

What does this middle button on the middle of my Chevrolet equinox steering wheel mean?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Depending on how new your vehicle is, to me it looks like some sort of turn on button for forward collision safety feature, but i'm not an expert with this particular vehicle. If you want a better answer, I strongly suggest looking at the owner's manual under which should be located in the front dash compartment on the passengers side. Once you have the manual, look in the appendix until you find controls (or something similar) then go to that page and read about your vehicles control buttons. Your answer should be in the manual.

Something that all automobile owners should do right after purchasing a new vehicle, is reading the owners manual. As boring as it may seem, reading the owner's manual will help you get used to your new car quicker and give you instructions on how to take care of your car so that it lasts.

Have a great day, and I wish you safe traveling for now and forever! :)

An automobile weighing 2500 lbf increases its gravitational potential energy by a magnitude of 2.25 × 104 Btu in going from an e
Mila [183]

Answer:

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.

Explanation:

The automobile weight is 2500 lbf.

The automobile increases its gravitational potential energy in 2.25 * 10^4 BTU. It means the mobile has increased its elevation.

The initial elevation is of 5183 ft.  

The first step is to convert Btu of potential energy to adequate units to work with data previously presented.

British Thermal Unit - 1 BTU = 778.17  lbf*ft

2.25 * 10^4 BTU (\frac{778.17 lbf*ft}{1BTU} ) = 1.75 * 10^7 lbf * ft

Now we have the gravitational potential energy in lbf*ft. Weight of the mobile is in lbf and the elevation is in ft. We can evaluate the expression for gravitational potential energy as follows:  

Ep = m*g*(h_2 - h_1)\\ W = m*g  

Where m is the mass of the automobile, g is the gravity, W is the weight of the automobile showed in the problem.  

h_2 is the final elevation and h_1 is the initial elevation.

Replacing W in the Ep equation

Ep = W*(h_2 -h_1)\\(h_2 -h_1) = \frac{Ep}{W} \\h_2 = h_1 + \frac{Ep}{W}\\\\

Finally, the next step is to replace the variables of the problem.  

h_2 = 5183 ft + \frac{1.75 * 10^7 lbf*ft}{2500 lbf}\\h_2 = 5183 ft + 70003.5 ft\\h_2 = 12186.5 ft

The elevation at the high point of the road is 12186.5 in ft.
