The cost at 5 paise/KWH of operating an electric motor for 8 hours which takes 15 amp at `110V` is

A

Rs. 66

B

66 paise

C

37 paise

D

Rs. 6.60

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Cost `=(5 paise)/(KWH) xx hour xx 15 amp xx 110`
`= (5)/(10^(3) xx wH) 8 xx 15 xx 110 = (66000)/(10^(3)) = 66` paise

The rectangular box shown in Fig has partition which can slide without friction along the length of the box. Initially each of the two chambers of the box has one mole of a mono-atomic ideal gas (lambda=5//3) at a pressure P_0 , volume V_0 and temperature T_0 . The chamber on the left is slowly heated by an electric heater. The walls of the box and the lead wires of the heater is negligible. The gas in the left chamber expands pushing the partition until the final pressure in both chambers becomes 243P_0//32 . Determine (i) the final temperature of the gas in each chamber and (ii) the work done by the gas in the right chamber.

An electrician has to repair an electric fault on a pole of height 5m. She needs to reach a point 1.3m below the top of the pole to undertake the repair work (see the given figure). What should be the length of the ladder that she should use which, when inclined at an angle of 60^(@) to teh horizontal, would enable her to reach the required position? Also, how far from the foot of the pole shoudl she place the foot of the ladder? (you may take sqrt3= 1.73 )
