The electronics aboard a certain sailboat consume 50 W whenoperated from 12.6-V source. If a certain fully charged deep-cyclelead acid storage battery is rated for 12.6 V and 100 ampere hours,for how many hours can the electronics be operated from the batterywithout recharging. (The ampere-hour rating of the battery is theoperating time to discharge the battery multiplied by the current.)How much energy in Kilowatt hours is initially stored in thebattery? If the battery costs $75 and has a life 0f 300charge-discharge cycle, what is the cost of the energy in dollarsper kilowatt hour? Neglect the cost of recharging the battery.
