Problem 4: Hydraulic systems utilize Pascal's principle by transmitting pressure from one cylinder (called the primary) to anoth

er (called the secondary). Since the pressures will be equal, if the surface areas are different then the forces applied to the cylinders' pistons will be different. Suppose in a hydraulic lift, the piston of the primary cylinder has a 1.95-cm diameter and the piston of the secondary cylinder has a 24.5-cm diameter.
What force, in newtons, must be exerted on the primary cylinder of this lift to support the weight of a 2250 kg car (a large car) resting on the secondary cylinder?

Answer: F = 139.65 N

Explanation:

Using Pascal principle:

F = P * A, where

F = Force applied to the piston

P = Pressure

A = Piston area

also, we know generally,

A = πd²/4, in this case,

d= piston diameter

Calculation of the force Fp necessary to support the weight of the car.

Now, we use the Pascal principle: to solve,

Fp = P * Ap, where

Fp = Force on the primary piston

Ap = Primary piston area

we know our Ap but not P, so to find P

We use Newton's first law for a balanced Secondary piston -automobile system

Newton's first law: ∑F = 0

W - Fs = 0, where

W = car weight

Fs = Force on the secondary piston

Thus, W = Fs, if we put this in the equation, it becomes

W = P * As, where

As= Secondary piston area

making P subject of formula,

P = W / As

Substituting this in the initial equation, we have

Fp = W/As * Ap

From this, we know that

As = πds²/4

Ap = πdp²/4, so that

Fp = W/(πds²/4) * πdp²/4

Fp = 4W/πds² * πdp²/4

Fp = W/ds² * dp²

Fp = 2250/24.5² * 1.95²

Fp = 2250/600.25 * 3.8025

Fp = 14.25 kg

Converting to N, we have

14.25 * 9.8 = 139.65 N

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Solon,

total mass (kg)= 100kg

height (h)= 25m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

so,

work done =m*g*h

= 100*9.8*25

= 24,500 joule

Johnny walked to the other side of his building using the following steps: 10 meters North, 20 meters to the West, 40 meters Sou
nataly862011 [7]

<u>Answer: </u>

  Distance traveled = 70 meters

  Displacement = 36.06 meters

<u>Explanation: </u>

 Let north be positive Y and east be positive X

 10 meters north, displacement = 10 j meters

 20 meters west, displacement = -20 i meters

 40 meters south, displacement = -40 j meters

 Total displacement = (10 j - 20 i – 40 j) meters = (- 20 i - 30 j) meters

 Magnitude of displacement = \sqrt{20^2+30^2}=\sqrt{1300}= 36.06 meters

 Distance traveled = 10+20+40 = 70 meters

BigorU [14]

Answer:

inertia

Explanation:

The property of matter that will keep the body in motion when the car comes to a halt is the inertia force.

Inertia is the ability of a body to remain in static position. It is the tendency to remain in a stable condition where there is no motion.

  • Newton's first law is the law of inertia and it states that a body remain in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
  • The ability to remain in state of rest by a body is predicated on the force of inertia.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
