Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A   (N/m²)

P1=P2

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2}  }{A_{1}}  Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight  (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N

What is needed to create a magnetic field?
lara [203]

Explanation:

A magnetic field can be created by running electricity through a wire. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. Even the magnet on your fridge is magnetic because it contains electrons that are constantly moving around inside

Explanation:

(a) The given figure is a convex lens.

(b) In this figure, the object is placed between F and optical center of a lens. Convex lens is a converging lens. It converges the beam of light falling on it after reflection. The image is formed on the same side of the lens as the object.

The formed image is enlarged and it is virtual and erect.

(i) Type : virtual

(ii) Orientation : upright

(iii) Size : Enlarged
