Calculation for a radial supply system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating total load in a radial supply system, specifically addressing the components of complex power. The user has successfully derived real power values but is struggling with the imaginary components, j1.3 and j0.71. Clarification is sought on how to calculate reactive power using the reactive power factor. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between MVA, power factor, and reactive power. The conversation highlights the need for clear definitions of the terms and values involved in the calculations.

Homework Statement


[/B]
Im working through my HNC with the answers but i do not know how they have come to the numbers below.Total load = 1.5/-60 degrees + 2.3/-18 degrees.

=(0.75−j1.3)+(2.19−j0.71)
2. Homework Equations .

Not sure yet

The Attempt at a Solution



I understand how they have got to 0.75 and 2.19 it is MVA multiplied by the power factor.
I have tried all calculations but i can not get to the j1.3 and the j0.71.
Im fine with everything else. I know it will be something simple I'm missing

You'll have to explain what you tried.
 
Last time I checked, lagging power factor means an inductive load. What do your numbers (0.75 - j1.3) represent? Ohms? Current? something else?
What are they asking for? All I see is a diagram of the system.
 
I see you understand how to get the MW from the MVA. You use the PF.

To get the reactive power, Mvar, you need to use the reactive power factor, QF, where

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
