746

Question 31

There are three quantities needed to determine horsepower. They are weight/force, distance, and _____

Answer 31

Time

Question 32

Referring to manifold gauges, the low side gauge divisions are calculated in

Answer 32

Five pound increments

Question 33

Also referring to manifold gauges, the high side gauge division are calibrated in

Answer 33

Five pound increments

Question 34

This gauge reads pressures above and below atmospheric pressure

Answer 34

Low sided gauge

Question 35

Bonus. It would take ________ horsepower motor to lift a 2000 pound condensing unit 30 feet in 30 seconds

Answer 35

Force = Mass x Acceleration (32.2 ft/s)
2000 x 32.2 = 64400 lb ft/s
64400 x 30 ft = 1932000 lb ft
Work = 1932000
Time = 30 seconds

HP = 1932000 / (30s x 550)
HP = 117.85
