How can I set up two 1500 W speakers in a ballroom without losing power?

AI Thread Summary
To set up two 1500 W speakers in a ballroom without losing power, first determine the maximum wattage each wall outlet can provide, as this varies by location. If the outlets can handle the combined 3000 W, distribute the load evenly across the three available outlets to prevent overloading any single outlet. Use appropriate power cables and extension cords rated for the total wattage to ensure safety. Additionally, consider using a power distribution unit to manage the power supply effectively. Proper planning and equipment selection are crucial to avoid blowing a fuse during the event.

Homework Statement


It’s the dance, and you’re setting up your equipment in the ballroom of the Hilton. There are three wall outlets. Explain as well as you can how you set up two 1500 W speakers and appropriate equipment to ensure that you don’t lose power.

At a guess, the question wants to know how you intend to get 2x1500 watts from 2 wall outlets without blowing a fuse. You need to find out the maximum power that a wall outlet can give in the Hilton ( if it's a Hilton in Europe, it will be different from the LA Hilton ).

It's a pretty dumb way to frame a question.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
