Question: Single phase 4 pole pool pump motor delivering 1 hp of m . power is supplied using 2 4 0 VAC ( RMS ) and

Single phase 4 pole pool pump motor delivering 1hp of m.power is supplied using 240VAC (RMS) and operates at power factor of 0.96 lagging. if the motor operates at 3.8% slip & is 85% efficient.
a) what is the torque delivered by motor?
b) what is the impedance of the motor windings expressed as a phasor?
c) what is the resistance and the inductance of the motor windings in ohm and henrys respectively?
d) what impedance would be placed in parallel with the motor in order to increase the power factor to equal to 1? what would be the components type and its value?
