AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the power generated by an 8.00A current in a 115V circuit, given that 6.00A in a 220V circuit produces 1320W. The relationship between power, current, and voltage is emphasized, indicating that power varies jointly with voltage and current. Participants are encouraged to explore the calculations needed to derive the power output for the 8.00A scenario. The conversation highlights a need for assistance in understanding the power formula and its application in different circuit conditions. Ultimately, the goal is to find the power output for the specified current and voltage.

the electric power P generated by current varies jointly with the voltage drop V and the current I. If 6.00A of current in a 220v circuit generate 1320 W of power, how much power do 8.00A of current in a 115v circuit generate?

here what I got so far:

current v W power
6.00A 220v 1320 w
8.00A 115v ?

I am stuck! some help please

So you cannot see anyway of getting 1320W from 220V and 6A?

What have you tried?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
