An AC motor is connected to a 560-V, 60-Hz line. The motor has a current draw at full load of 53 A. A wattmeter indicates a true power of 18,700 W. Find the power factor of the motor and the amount of capacitance that should be connected in parallel with the motor to correct the power factor to 100%, or unity
