Chapter 2, Problem 2.43HP

At an engineering site, a 1-hp motor is placed adistance d from a portable generator, as depicted in Figure P2.43. The generator can be modeled as an ideal DC source $V_G=110\text{V}$ . The nameplate on the motor gives the following rated voltages and full-load currents:
   $\begin{array}{l}{V}_{M\min }=105\text{V}\to I_{M\text{FL}}=7.10\text{A}\\ V_{M\max }=117\text{V}\to I_{M\text{FL}}=6.37\text{A}\end{array}$
If $d=150\text{m}$ and the motor must deliver its full-rated power, determine the minimum AWG conductors that must be used in a rubber-insulatedcable. Assume that losses occur only in the wires.
