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.

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>


<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:


1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.  

2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.

5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>
