The water in the plumbing in a house is at a gauge pressure of 300,000 pa. What force does this cause on the top of the tank ins

Answer:

60 000 N

Explanation:

1 pa = 1 N/m^2

you have 300 000 of these = 300 000 N /m^2

but only an area of .2 m^2

300 000 N / m^2 * .2 m^2 = 60 000 N

A force of 3600 N is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.030 m2. What force is exerted on a second piston that has an area

Airida [17]

For Pascal's law, the pressure is transmitted with equal intensity to every part of the fluid:
$p_1 = p_2$
which becomes
$\frac{F_1}{A_1}= \frac{F_2}{A_2}$
where
$F_1=3600 N$ is the force on the first piston
$A_1=0.030 m^2$ is the area of the first piston
$F_2$ is the force on the second piston
$A_2=0.015 m^2$ is the area of the second piston

If we rearrange the equation and we use these data, we can find the intensity of the force on the second piston:
$F_2=F_1 \frac{A_2}{A_1}=(3600 N) \frac{0.015 m^2}{0.030 m^2}= 1800 N$

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.
