Can a 1½ " conduit, with a total area of 2.04 square inches, be filled with wires that total 0.93 square inches if the maximum fill for that conduit is 40%?

it is not possible to place the wires in the condui

Explanation:

given data

total area = 2.04 square inches

wires total area = 0.93 square inches

maximum fill conduit = 40%

to find out

Can it is possible place wire in conduit conduit

solution

we know maximum fill is 40%

so here first we get total area of conduit that will be

total area of conduit = 40% * 2.04

total area of conduit = 0.816 square inches

but this area is less than required area of wire that is 0.93 square inches

so we can say it is not possible to place the wires in the conduit
