Answer: current = 10.25A

Explanation:

Toward = 240w

Alarm clock = 30w

Tanning bed = 720w

4 60 watts bulb = 60 * 4 = 240w

Total power = 240 + 30 + 720 + 240 = 1230w

Voltage = 120v

Recall that Power = current * voltage

1230 = current * 120

current = 1230/120 = 10.25A

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First, let us derive our working equation. We all know that pressure is the force exerted on an area of space. In equation, that would be: P = F/A. From Newton's Law of Second Motion, force is equal to the product of mass and gravity: F = mg. So, we can substitute F to the first equation so that it becomes, P = mg/A. Now, pressure can also be determined as the force exerted by a fluid on an area. This fluid can be measure in terms of volume. Relating volume and mass, we use the parameter of density: ρ = m/V. Simplifying further in terms of height, Volume is the product of the cross-sectional area and the height. So, V = A*h. The working equation will then be derived to be:

P = ρgh

This type of pressure is called the hydrostatic pressure, the pressure exerted by the fluid over a known height. Next, we find the literature data of the density of seawater. From studies, seawater has a density ranging from 1,020 to 1,030 kg/m³. Let's just use 1,020 kg/m³. Substituting the values and making sure that the units are consistent:

P = (1,020 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(11 km)*(1,000 m/1km)
P = 110,068,200 Pa or 110.07 MPa

LekaFEV [45]
I think the correct answer would be one half the wavelength. Waves would "feel bottom" when the water is at the depth of 0.5 of the wavelength. "Feel bottom" is a term used to describe that the depth of water affects the wave properties. Hope this answers the question.
