Option D
The resistance in machine is 8.5 ohms
Solution:
Given that,
Power = 1700 W
Voltage = 120 V
We have to find the resistance in machine
The formula used is:
[tex]P = \frac{V^2}{R}[/tex]
Where,
"P" is the electric power and "V" is the voltage and "R" is the resistance
Substituting the given values we get,
[tex]1700 = \frac{120^2}{R}\\\\1700 = \frac{14400}{R}\\\\R = \frac{14400}{1700}\\\\R = \frac{144}{17}\\\\R = 8.47 \approx 8.5[/tex]
Thus resistance in machine is 8.5 ohms
