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.

Fault- A place where there is a break that is longer than usual in the layers of rock in the earth's crust.

Tectonic waves- Waves connected with the structure of the earth's surface.

Plate boundaries- The boundaries that differentiates the large sheets of rock (called PLATES) that form the earth's surface. Plate tectonics is the movement of the large sheets of rocks that form the earth's surface

The work done is the loss of kinetic energy.

Loss of kinetic energy = m*(v1^2 - v2^2)/2 = 10 kg * [ (99m/s)^2 - (1m/s)^2]/2 = 49,000 J
