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.

Pls ans 10 no. From laws of motion
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

40N

Explanation:

Since both weights are connected to one string, you can say that the tensions above each are equal to each other.

If you do the sum of forces for the 4kg mass, then the tension comes out to 40N (if we take gravity to be 10m/s²). But that seemed too good to be true, so I decided to do the work for the 7kg mass as well [which included finding the normal force (N) and plugging it into the sum of forces for the 7kg mass] to find that it also gives 40N as the answer.

If I were to put my process into steps:

  1. Write out the sum of Forces for both masses
  2. Set them equal to each other to find normal force (because this is the only unknown)
  3. Calculate and compare the two tensions to see if they are equal

*This all seems to line up perfectly, but do let me know if my answer doesn't match up with what you might find to he the answer later on.

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.
natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

where m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

  • mass of the ball
  • velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball  before touching the gound can be determined.

A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway​ on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 20 mi along the hig
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

We know from the basic speed distance relation that

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Since the car started from rest and it covered the distance between the 2 officer's in 19 minutes we have speed of the car

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{20}{\frac{19}{60}}=63.16mph

Which clearly exceeds the limit of 60\frac{mi}{hr}

falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8m/sec/sec. if an object falls from a tall building how long will it take
sveta [45]

Answer:

5 seconds

Explanation:

<em>Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) ÷ time</em>

<em>a =  \frac{v - u}{t}</em>

<em>9.8 =  \frac{49 - 0}{t}</em>

<em>9.8 =  \frac{49}{t}</em>

<em>9.8t = 49</em>

<em>t =  \frac{49}{9.8}</em>

<em>t = 5</em>
