Given data:

The area of the hydraulic press is,

A_1=3.2in^2

The applied force is,

F_1=2\text{ lb}

The pressing force on the large piston is

F_2=795\text{ lb}

Given hydraulic press works on Pascal's law principle.

From the Pascal's law, the equation can be given as,

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

Here,

A_2

is the area of the larger piston.

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2\text{ lb}}{3.2in^2}=\frac{795\text{ lb}}{A_2} \\ A_2=1272in^2 \end{gathered}

Thus, the area of the large piston is

1272in^2

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot
Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

Alecsey [184]

Given Information:  

Current = I = 20 A

Diameter = d = 0.205 cm = 0.00205 m

Length of wire = L = 1 m

Required Information:  

Energy produced = P = ?

Answer:  

P = 2.03 J/s

Explanation:  

We know that power required in a wire is

P = I²R

and R = ρL/A

Where ρ is the resistivity of the copper wire 1.68x10⁻⁸ Ω.m

L is the length of the wire and A is the area of the cross-section and is given by

A = πr²

A = π(d/2)²

A = π(0.00205/2)²

A = 3.3x10⁻⁶ m²

R = ρL/A

R = 1.68x10⁻⁸*(1)/3.3x10⁻⁶

R = 5.09x10⁻³ Ω

P = I²R

P = (20)²*5.09x10⁻³

P = 2.03 Watts or P = 2.03 J/s

Therefore, 2.03 J/s of energy is produced in 1.00 m of 12-gauge copper wire carrying a current of 20 A
