Hydraulic pressure is actually the pressure that is exerted to liquid and the pressure gets transmitted throughout the liquid. Since liquid cannot be compressed, so the pressure that was exerted on the liquid gets transmitted to the walls of the container containing the liquid. This theory is applied to the braking system of cars and some other vehicles. This is known as the hydraulic pressure. It is actually the science that is concerned with the laws of movements of a fluid and the application of this theory for engineering purpose. This theory has not only been used in cars but also in planes .
Answer:
300 J
Explanation:
Work = (Force)*(distance) = 600 N ∗ 0.5 m = 300 J
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.
