Chapter 18, Problem 4P
In Chapter 12, we explained that the electric power consumption of various electrical components can be determined using the following power formula: P = VI = RI2 where P is power in watts, V is the voltage, I is the current in amps, and R is the resistance of the component in ohms.
Plot the power consumption of an electrical component with a resistance of 145 ohms. Vary the value of the current from zero to 4 amps. Discuss and plot the change in power consumption as the function of current drawn through the component.

For example, consider the heat loss through a window in a building. Window efficiency is rated in terms of R value, which has the unit of ft2-hr-°F/Btu. A certain manufacturer offers a double-pane window with R=2.5 and also a triple-pane window with R= 3.4. Both windows are 3.5 ft by 5 ft.

The bar is used to provide an aerodynamic load on the motor. By assuming that the air flow around the shaft is everywhere turbulent, calculate the power absorption by the shaft for a rotational speed of 2000 revolutions per minute.

As we explained in Chapter 7, the air resistance to motion of a vehicle is something important that engineers investigate. As you may also know, the drag force acting on a car is determined experimentally by placing the car in a wind tunnel. The air speed inside the tunnel is changed, and the drag force acting on the car is measured. For a given car, the experimental data is generally represented by a single coefficient that is called drag coefficient. It is defined by the following relationship: Fa Cả where Ca = drag coefficient (unitless) Fa = measured drag force (N or 1b) p= air density (kg/m³ or slugs/ft') V = air speed inside the wind tunnel (m/s or ft/s) A = frontal area of the car (m? or ft') The frontal area A represents the frontal projection of the car's area and could be approximated simply by multiplying 0.85 times the width and the height of a rectangle that outlines the front of a car. This is the area that you see when you view the car from a direction normal to…arrow_forward
- A rigid bar of weight W = 815 Ib hangs from three equally spaced wires-two of steel and one of aluminum (see figure). The diameter of the wires is W = 815 lb What temperature increase AT (in °F) in all three wires will result in the entire load being carried by the steel wires? Before the wires were loaded with W and before the temperature increase AT, all three wires had the same length.

Hints: (a) Assume the power is only used to produce kinetic energy of the water in the jet.
