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

Express the distance between the moon and earth in meters with a meter prefix (km).
tankabanditka [31]

Answer;

= 3.86 × 10^8 Meters

Explanation;

-The distance between the Earth and the moon is 386000 km

But; 1 km = 1000 m

Therefore; 386000 km will be equivalent to;

= 386000 × 1000

= 386000000 m

= 3.86 × 10^8 meters

An energy storage system based on a flywheel (a rotating disk) can store a maximum of 3.7 MJ when the flywheel is rotating at 16
Likurg_2 [28]

The moment of inertia of the flywheel is 2.63 kg-m^{2}

It is given that,

The maximum energy stored on the flywheel is given as

E=3.7MJ= 3.7×10^{6} J

Angular velocity of the flywheel is 16000\frac{rev}{min} = 1675.51\frac{rad}{sec}

So to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel. The energy of a flywheel in rotational kinematics is given by :

E = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}

By rearranging the equation:

I = \frac{2E}{w_{2} }

I = 2.63 kg-m^{2}

Thus the moment of inertia of the flywheel is 2.63 kg-m^{2}.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their frequency/wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the part referred as 'visible light'. The electromagnetic waves of this part of the spectrum are visible to human eye, and they appear as a different color depending on their wavelength. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.
dezoksy [38]
In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr) 
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>
