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.

A. How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

A) 1 cal

B) 80 cal

C) 540 cal

Explanation:

A)

The amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a certain mass of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T is the change in temperature

In this problem:

m = 1 g is the mass of water

C=1 cal/g^{\circ}C is  the specific heat capacity of water

\Delta T=1^{\circ}C is the change in temperature

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(1)(1)=1 cal

B)

For a solid substance at its melting point, the amount of heat needed to melt completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_f

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_f is the specific latent heat of fusion of the substance

In this problem:

- The ice is already at melting point, 0 °C

- Mass of the ice: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of fusion of ice: \lambda_f=80 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(80)=80 cal

C)

For a liquid substance at its boiling point, the amount of heat needed to boil completely the substance is given by

Q=m\lambda_v

where

m is the mass of the substance

\lambda_v is the specific latent heat of vaporization of the substance

In this problem:

- The water is already at boiling point, 100 °C

- Mass of the water: m=1g

- Specific latent heat of vaporization of water: \lambda_v=540 cal/g

So, the heat needed is

Q=(1)(540)=540 cal
