A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge

pressure in the system reservoir remains at 75 psi, and the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. assuming that the weight of the pistons is negligible, determine the total number of 1.5-inch cylinders needed in the pneumatic system to lift the 450-pound load.

The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure =  75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

In stars mor massive than the sun, fusion continues until the core is almost all....
serious [3.7K]
In stars more massive than the sun, the core temperature is hotter, which allows for fusion of more complex elements.

Most of the fusion occurs in the core.

In stars more massive than the sun, fusion continues through Deuterium, Carbon, and finally reaching iron/nickel.

Up to this point, the fusion reaction was endothermic, which means that the energy expended to produce the fusion reaction was exceeded by the energy produced in the reaction.

Fusion past iron is exothermic, and therefore the star will be able to survive by fusing elements heavier than iron.

After the core is almost entirely iron, the star is no longer in the Main Sequence.

So, fusion in stars more massive than the sun continue fusing until the core is almost entirely <em>iron</em>.

How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too
vodomira [7]
Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."
speed= \frac{distance}{time}
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."
velocity= displacement/time
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time. 
acceleration =  \frac{change in velocity}{time}
