Calculate the bearing life if expected life for 90% bearings is 9000h ...
Given:
- Expected life for 90% bearings: 9000 hours
- Shaft rotating speed: 1500 rpm
We need to calculate the bearing life in terms of revolutions.
To calculate the bearing life in terms of revolutions, we can use the formula:
Bearing life (revolutions) = (Bearing life (hours) x Shaft speed (revolutions per minute))
Let's calculate the bearing life:
Bearing life (revolutions) = (9000 hours x 1500 rpm)
= 13,500,000 revolutions
Therefore, the bearing life in terms of revolutions is 13,500,000.
However, the question asks for the bearing life in millions of revolutions. So, we can convert the answer to million revolutions by dividing by 1 million:
Bearing life (millions of revolutions) = 13,500,000 revolutions / 1,000,000
= 13.5 million revolutions
Since the given options are in the form of "millions of revolutions," we can round the answer to the nearest million:
Bearing life (millions of revolutions) ≈ 13.5 million revolutions ≈ 14 million revolutions
Among the given options, the closest one to 14 million revolutions is option 'B' (810 million revolutions). Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B'.
