Answer:
The resistance of the copper wire supplying electricity to this pump is 0.005 ohm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Per day cost of running centrifugal pump is $30
Charge of electricity is 9.7 cents per kilowatt hour
Total electricity power consumed
[tex]\frac{30}{0.097} \\309.278[/tex] kilowatt hour
Current flowing through the pump
[tex]= \frac{309.278}{240} \\= 1.288[/tex]A
Resistance of the pump
[tex]\frac{1.288}{240} \\0.005[/tex] ohm
The resistance of the copper wire supplying electricity to this pump is 0.005 ohm
