Can you use a 25 amp double pole breaker for a 240 heavy duty whirlpool dryer.?

The recommended breaker for dryers is 30 amps. If you want to do the calculation to see if a 25 amp breaker will work use the following formula. W = A x V, A = W/V. Find the wattage of the unit and divide it by 240 volts to get the amperage. If the amperage is under 25 amps then the breaker will work. If the amperage is over 25 amps then a 30 amp breaker on #10 wire will be needed.

Does a camper use a single or double breaker?
It could be either. If it has any heavy appliances like a stove it might require 220-240 which would be a double.

Is 10-3 wire heavy enough for a washer-dryer combination if they are 50 feet away from the breaker box?
10/3 will be fine if its not more than 75 feet Assuming they draw 30A or less, yes.
Can you plug equipment rated for 50A into a 30A circuit?
Yes, with a caveat. The 50A wire and plug is more than heavy enough for the dryer, so there is no problem there. The possible problem is that the dryer is designed to be protected by a 30A breaker. In the event of failure in the dryer, the breaker may not trip as it is oversized. The best solution? Get a small breaker box from a home center and mount a 30A breaker in it. Mount it on the back of the dryer, run the 50A cord into the feed lugs of the box, and connect the dryer feed to the 30A breaker. This way you can plug the dryer into the 50A outlet like you want, and the dryer is protected with a 30A breaker as usual. You can get small breaker boxes or fused disconnects without too much cost. Just make sure the breaker box / disconnect panel is rated to 50A, as you want to feed it off a 50A circuit. As long as the voltage requirement of the dryer matches the voltage of the outlet (which is presumably 240 volts), then yes. The amp rating of the cord and outlet is merely the maximun current (amps) allowed. You're well under that with 24 amps.
How many outlets and lights on a 60 amp breaker?
120 amps The above answer is wrong. A 60 amp breaker is designed to trip at 60 amps be it a single pole, double pole or a triple pole that is used on three phase equipment. The number on the handle of a breaker is the trip capacity.

When was the first hair dryer made?
The first hair dryer was made in 1920 but was very heavy almost like a vacuum cleaner it was not until 1920 when the first proper hair dryer was made.
How long does it take for a whirlpool heavy duty super capacity plus washing machine to complete a full wash cycle?
I'm at a hotel now. I'm using a whirlpool heavy duty commercial washer. It took 30 mins on the dot for the (large/high/coldcold) load. Hope this helps
What is the Breaker reef like?

What is the best way to clean the bottom of an inflatable pool?
with a vinyl vacuum cleaner. I get in the pool and make a whirlpool. Most of the light and heavy debris gets caught in the whirlpool. Then spend about 20 minutes with the skimmer and it's clean. It works best for me.
What is oil circuit breaker?
An oil circuit breaker is a breaker that is immersed in a tank of insulating oil. The tank has two electrical bushings through the tank to allow the supply and load to be connected to the breaker. These breakers can be opened under a heavy amperage load. The insulating oil is used to extinguish the arc that is produced when opening a switch under load.
