A 12-V DC automobile head lamp is to be used on a fishing boat with a 24-V power system. The head lamp is rated at 50 W. A resis

tor is to be connected in series with the lamp to permit it to operate on 24 V. What should be the resistance and power rating of the resistor?

Answer:

The  resistance is  R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  voltage  rating of the headlamp is  V_1  =  12 \ V

     The  voltage of the power system is  p =  24 \  V

     The  power rating of the headlamp  is  P  =  50 W

Generally the power which the resistor dissipates is mathematically represented as

      P  =  V_L *  I

=>       50 =  12 *  I

=>   I  =  4.1667 \  A

Generally the resistance is

      R  =  \frac{V_1 }{I}

      R  =  \frac{12 }{4.1667}

      R  =  2.88 \ \Omega

leva [86]
<span>Here I think you have to find the velocity in x and y components where x is east and y is north
 So as air speed indicator shows the negative speed in y component and adding it in
  air speed while multiplying with the direction component we will get the velocity as velocity is a vector quantity so direction is also required
 v=-28 m/s y + 18 m/s (- x/sqrt(2) - y/sqrt(2))
 solving
  v= -12.7 m/s x-40.7 m/s y
 if magnitude of velocity or speed is required then
  speed= sqrt(12.7^2 + 40.7^2)
 speed= 42.63 m/s
 if angle is asked
  angle = arctan (40.7/12.7)
 angle = 72.67 degrees south of west</span>
