Answer:

The force that must be applied to the small piston = 18.02 N.

Explanation:

Hydraulic Press: This is a device that produce a very large force to compress something e.g printing press.

From pascal's principle,

In an hydraulic press,

f/a = F/A......................... Equation 1

Where f = force applied to the small piston, a = area of the small piston, F = force required to lift the load/ force produced at the large piston. A = Area of the large piston.

Making f the subject of the equation above,

f = F×a/A.............................. Equation 2

Given: F = 2.4 kN = 2400 N, a = 2.23 cm², A = 297 cm².

Substituting into  equation 2

f = 2400(2.23)/297

f = 18.02 N.

Thus the force that must be applied to the small piston = 18.02 N.

Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in se
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm

Explanation:

Let the two resistances by r and R.

when they are connected in series:

V = 12 V

i = 1.12 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in series is

Rs = r + R

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rs

Rs = V / i = 12 / 1.12 = 10.7 ohm

R + r = 10.7 ohm    .... (1)

When they are connected in parallel:

V = 12 V

i = 9.39 A

The equivalent resistance when they are connected in parallel

R_{p}=\frac{R+r}{rR}

So, By using Ohm's law

V = i Rp

Rp = V / i = 12 / 9.39 = 1.28 ohm

\frac{R+r}{rR}=1.28    .... (2)

by substituting the value of R + r from equation (1) in equation (2), we get

r R = 8.36 ..... (3)

R-r = \sqrt{\left ( R+r \right )^{2}-4rR}

R-r = \sqrt{\left ( 10.7 \right )^{2}-4\times 8.36}=9 ..... (4)

By solvng equation (1) and (4), we get

R = 9.85 ohm , r = 0.85 ohm

A string that is 3.6 m long is tied between two posts and plucked. The string produces a wave that has a frequency of 320 Hz and
marin [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency,

Our values are given as

L = 3.6m

v= 192m/s

f= 320Hz

Replacing we have that

\lambda = \frac{192}{320}

\lambda = 0.6m

The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,

N = \frac{L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{3.6}{0.6}

N = 6

Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.

If we double the frequency of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements about that system ar
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a. The angular frequency is doubled.

e. The period is reduced to one-half of what it was.

Explanation:

Angular frequency is given as;

ω = 2πf

\frac{\omega _1}{f_1} = \frac{\omega _2}{f_2}

when the frequency is doubled

\frac{\omega _1}{f_1} = \frac{\omega _2}{(2f_1)} \\\\\omega _1 = \frac{\omega _2}{2}\\\\\omega _2 = 2\omega _1

Thus, the angular frequency will be doubled.

Amplitude in simple harmonic motion is the maximum displacement.

Frequency is related to period in simple harmonic motion as given in the equation below;

f = \frac{1}{T} \\\\f_1T_1= f_2T_2\\\\T_2 = \frac{f_1T_1}{f_2}

when the frequency is doubled;

T_2 = \frac{f_1T_1}{2f_1} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_1}{2}

Thus, the period will be reduced to one-half of what it was.

In order to understand the results of another scientist's work, any scientist
who reads the report MUST understand the measurement system in which
the result is described.  Otherwise the result is meaningless to him.
