A quarter horse power motor runs at a speed of 600 Ep.m. Assuming 40% efficiency the work done by the motor in one rotation will be:

A

7.46 J

B

7400 J

C

7.46 ergs

D

74.6 J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Here, speed of motor =`(600)/(60)=10 r.p.s`
Power of motor=`1/4hp=(746)/(4)W`
Effective power=`(40)/(100)xx(746)/(4)=74.6 W`
`Work W=("Effecttive powre")/("No. of rotations/sec")`
=`(746)/(10)=7.46 J`.

A small dc motor operating at 200 V draws a current of 5.0 A at its full speed of 100 pi rad s^(-1) . The resistance of the armature of the motor is 10 Omega . Determine the back emf of the motor. Obtain the power input, power output and efficiency of the motor.

A motor boat heads upstream a distance of 24 km in a river whose current is running at 3 km per hour. The trip up and back takes 6 hours. Assuming that the motor boat maintained a constant speed, what was its speed in still water?

An elevator can carry a maximum load of 1800 kg (elevator + passengers) is moving up with a constant speed of 2ms^(-1) . The frictional force opposing the motion is 4000 N. Determine the minimum power delivered by the motor to the elevator in watts as well as in horse power.

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of 200 rad s-1, an engine needs to transmit a torque of 180 N m. What is the power required by the engine ? (Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100% efficient.
