Answer:
t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h
Explanation:
The energy provided by the resistance heater must be equal to the energy required to boil the water:
E = ΔQ
ηPt = mH
where.
η = efficiency = 84.5 % = 0.845
P = Power = 2.61 KW = 2610 W
t = time = ?
m = mass of water = 6.03 kg
H = Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg
Therefore,
(0.845)(2610 W)t = (6.03 kg)(2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg)

<u>t = 6179.1 s = 102.9 min = 1.7 h</u>
Answer:
d) 9.55 psi
Explanation:
pressure at the bottom is =ρgh
weight density is ρg=55 lb/ft³
h=25ft
pressure at the bottom is =
=1375psf
1 ft = 12 inch
pressure at bottom =
= 9.55 psi
so, answer will be option (d) which is 9.55 psi
