Determine the resistance of a 1 watt light
bulb designed to be used with three (3)
volts, the
voltage produced by two batteries in series.The
town of Lewisburg, PA (population 6000) is situated on the banks of the
Susquehanna River (elevation 440 feet above sea level). The town
is relatively isolated, and wants to make some provision should the electrical
supply to the town be interrupted. Two water storage tanks (1 million gallons
and .25 million gallons) are located on a hill overlooking the river (elevation
560 feet). Each tank is 40 ft high. Estimate how long the residents
of Lewisburg will be supplied with energy if the energy from the water
in the tanks can be used to drive a generator that will power the entire
town. Make whatever assumptions seem appropriate using whatever assumptions
and justifications seem reasonable. Your answer will be within an
order of magnitude at best.
