What is the purpose of the Bridge Formula and why should professional drivers know this formula?

What will be an ideal response?


It determines the appropriate maximum gross weight for a CMV, based on the number and spacing of axles. Knowing the Bridge Formula makes it easy to determine whether or not a structure can bear the weight of a CMV.

At an engineering site, a 1-hp motor is placed a distance d from a portable generator, as depicted in Figure P2.43. The generator can be modeled as an ideal DC source VG = 110V. The nameplate on the motor gives the following rated voltages and full-load currents:


If d = 150m and the motor must deliver its full-rated power, determine the minimum AWG conductors that must be used in a rubber-insulated cable. Assume that losses occur only in the wires.

Find:
The minimum AWG wire that will meet the specifications.
Assumptions:
Assume an ideal DC source.
