Answer to Problem 1R

The size of the wire utilized to connect the food waste disposer is 12AWG.

Explanation of Solution

Discussion:

A THHN type 12 AWG-sized copper conductors are used to connect the dishwasher to the branch circuit. Any one of the wiring methods among nonmetallic-sheathed cable, EMT, or Type MC cable will be used depending upon the requirement.

Conclusion:

Thus, the size of the wire utilized to connect the dishwasher is 12AWG.

2. Suppose the Laplace transform of a causal signal x(t) is given by s² +2 X(s) = S³ + 1 Using the lookup tables for standard Laplace transforms and the Laplace transform properties, find the Laplace transforms of the following signals. You do not need to simplify the expressions. a) x₁(t) = e² x(t) + 38(t − 1) − (t − 2)² u(t − 2) b) x2(t) = x(2t - 1) + et u(t − 2)
