The 1000-lb elevator is hoisted by the pulley system and motor M. The motor exerts a constant force of 500 lb on the cable. The
klemol [59]

The power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

weight of the elevator, m = 1000 lb

Force on the table, F = 500 lb

Distance, s = 27 ft

Efficiency, ε = 0.65

Power  = ?

According to the equation of motion:

F = ma

3(500) - 1000 = \frac{1000}{32.2} * a

a = 16.1 ft/s²

We know,

v^2 - u^2 = 2a (S - So)\\\\v^2 - (0)^2 = 2 * 16.1 (27-0)\\\\v = 29.48m/s

To calculate the output power:

Pout = F. v

Pout = 3 (500) * 29.48

Pout = 44220 lb.ft/s

As efficiency is given and output power is known, we can calculate the input power.

ε = Pout / Pin

0.65 = 44220 / Pin

Pin = 68030.8 lb.ft/s

Pin = 68030.8 / 500 hp

     = 136 hp

Therefore, the power that must be supplied to the motor is 136 hp

A parallel plates capacitor is filled with a dielectric of relative permittivity ε = 12 and a conductivity σ = 10^-10 S/m. The c
monitta

Answer:

t = 1.06 sec

Explanation:

Once disconnected from the battery, the capacitor discharges through the internal resistance of the dielectric, which can be expressed as follows:

R = (1/σ)*d/A, where d is is the separation between plates, and A is the area of one of  the plates.

The capacitance C , for a parallel plates capacitor filled with a dielectric of a relative permittivity ε, can be expressed in this way:

C = ε₀*ε*A/d = 8.85*10⁻¹² *12*A/d

The voltage in the capacitor (which is proportional to the residual charge as it discharges through the resistance of the dielectric) follows an exponential decay, as follows:

V = V₀*e(-t/RC)

The product RC (which is called the time constant of the circuit) can be calculated as follows:

R*C = (1/10⁻¹⁰)*d/A*8.85*10⁻¹² *12*A/d

Simplifying common terms, we finally have:

R*C = 8.85*10⁻¹² *12 / (1/10⁻¹⁰) sec = 1.06 sec

If we want to know the time at which the voltage will decay to 3.67 V, we can write the following expression:

V= V₀*e(-t/RC) ⇒ e(-t/RC) = 3.67/10 ⇒ -t/RC = ln(3.67/10)= -1

⇒ t = RC = 1.06 sec.

A house is losing heat at a rate of 1700 kJ/h per °C temperature difference between the indoor and the outdoor temperatures. Exp
Furkat [3]

Answer:

1700kJ/h.K

944.4kJ/h.R

944.4kJ/h.°F

Explanation:

Conversions for different temperature units are below:

1K = 1°C + 273K

1R = T(K) * 1.8

= (1°C + 273) * 1.8

1°F = (1°C * 1.8) + 32

Q/delta T = 1700kJ/h.°C

T (K) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/K

T (R) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8R

= 944.4kJ/h.R

T (°F) = 1700kJ/h.°C

= 1700kJ/h.°C * 1°C/1.8°F

= 944.4kJ/h.°F

Note that arithmetic operations like subtraction and addition of values do not change or affect the value of a change in temperature (delta T) hence, the arithmetic operations are not reflected in the conversion. Illustration: 5°C - 3°C

= 2°C

(273+5) - (273+3)

= 2 K
