Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.

zhenek [66]

Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.

An object 5.Ocm in the length is placed at a distance of 20cm in front of convex mirror

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Position = $\frac{60}{7}\ cm$ behind the mirror

Nature = Virtual and Erect

Size = $\frac{15}{7}\ cm$ : Diminished

Explanation:

Sign convention-Distance measured to the left of pole is negative and to the right of pole is positive.

Object distance = u = -20 cm

Focal length = f = Radius of curvature/2 = 30/2 = 15 cm

We have to use mirror formula to find image distance.

$\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}\\ \frac{1}{-20}+\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{7}{60}\\v=\frac{60}{7}\ cm$

Since the image distance is positive, it is formed behind the mirror or a virtual image is formed.

Magnification = $=\frac{h_{image}}{h_{object}}=$ $-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{60}{7\times20}=\frac{3}{7}$

Height of the object = 5 cm

Height of the image = $5\times\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{7}\ cm$

Since the height of the image is positive and less than the size of object,it is erect and diminished.
