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

Why does cold water sink?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water

A town requiring 2.0 m3/s of drinking water has two sources, a local well with 15 g/m3 nitrate (as N) and a distant reservoir wi
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Drinking water requirement in town 2.0 m^3/s of water per second

nitrate in local well  nitrate per 15 \mathrm{m}^{3} of water

nitrate in distant reservoir =5 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

Let the flow rate of well

flow rate of reservoir =y m^{3} / s

Drinking water requirement is 45 \mathrm{ppm} or 45 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

therefore, the total flow of drinking water

A circular coil of wire of 200 turns and diameter 6 cm carries a current of 7 A. It is placed in a magnetic field of 0.90 T with
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

3.08 Nm

Explanation:

N = 200, diameter = 6 cm, radius = 3 cm, I = 7 A, B = 0.90 T, Angle = 30 degree

The angle made with the normal of the coil, theta = 90 - 30 = 60 degree

Torque = N I A B Sin Theta

Torque = 200 x 7 x 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 x 0.90 x Sin 60

Torque = 3.08 Nm

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?
andrew-mc [135]
The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produ
grin007 [14]

Answer:

8 KJ/ s

Explanation:

Heat pumps Transfer thermal energy through absorbing of heat that comes from cold region and then release to warmer area by utilizing external power.

The coefficient of performance known as COP provide the ratio of both heating and cooling that are supplied to required work.

✓QH=The rate at which heat is produced = ?

✓COP= Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump = 1.6

✓ W(in)= power consumption= 5KW

QH=The rate at which heat is produced=[Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump] × [power consumption]

= 1.6 × 5KW

=8 KJ/ s
