Answer to Problem 1RQ

12 A

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The power of motor is 2 hp.

The voltage is 230 V.

Table 430.248 of the National Electric Code (NEC) is used to determine the full-load current of a single-phase motor.

The table 430.248 of the National Electric Code (NEC) is shown below:

    Horsepower115 V200 V208 V230 V
    1/64.42.52.42.2
    1/45.83.33.22.9
    3/47.24.14.03.6
    1/29.85.65.44.9
    ¾13.87.97.66.9
    1169.28.88.0
    1 ½2011.511.010
    22413.813.212
    33419.618.717
    55632.230.828
    7 ½8046.044.040
    1010057.555.050

Here, the full-load current is in Ampere (A).

Thus, the full-load current for 2 hp and 230 V is 12 A.

Conclusion:

The full-load current for single-phase motor is 12 A.

What types of constraints did Covid-19 cause in duration of activities on different construction projects?
Post-tensioned AASHTO Type III girders are to be used to support a deck with unsupported span equal to 90 feet. One level of Grade 270, 10 x 0.6" Ø 7-wire strand are used to tension the girders. The girder is simply supported at both ends. The anchors are located 2" from the neutral axis at the supports while the eccentricity is measured at 14" at the midspan. Use maximum values for ranges (table values). The tendons are encased in flexible metal sheathing. Assume and loadings are placed immediately after stressing. Determine the stresses at the top and bottom of the beam, including the stress at the level of steel after three years. Given the following parameters: F'c = 5000 psi Fy = 240 ksi (Bonded, Stress-relieved) Fu = 270 ksi = Es 29,000 ksi Ec = 4,030 psi Fj = 235 ksi A = 1x0.6" 07-W.S. = 0.217 in² Yc = 140 lbs/ft³ ΔΑ = 3/8" RH = 33% Superimposed Service Load = 10 kips/ft (excluding self-weight)
