An electric lift truck is powered by a dc motor connected to a 110 V battery. The truck exerts 200 lbs pull while moving at 7mph. If the overall efficiency of the motor and drive mechanism is 75%, what is the current drain on the battery ?
Suppose the cost of an incandescent bulb is 28 cents and that electricity costs 10.5 cents/kWh. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL), while they are more expensive, use 1/10 of the power for the same amount of illumination. What would be the maximum cost (in dollars) of a CFL such that the total cost (investment plus operating) would be the same for both CFL and incandescent 60 W bulbs? Assume both lightbulbs run for 1000 h.

A 77-hp motor that has an efficiency of 90.14% is soon to be obsolete. It will be replaced by a high efficiency motor which is 96.1% efficient. The motor operates 4,368 hours a year. Taking the cost of electricity to be ₱8.67 per kWh, compute for the annual savings due to the installation of the high-efficiency motor instead of the standard motor. Round your answer into two decimal places only.
