(1) A hydraulic press is used to lift heavy objects. It consists of a U-tube, one end having a large cross-sectional area A1, th

e other having a small cross-sectional area A2. The tube is filled with an incompressible fluid and the load is placed on A1. The load is lifted a distance Δx 1 by applying a force to piston A2, moving it a distance Δx 2. (1-1) If the force applied is F2, what load can be lifted?

Answer:

The load that can be lifted is equal to the weight W = F2A1/A2

Explanation:

According to Pascal principle which states that the pressure applied to a liquid confined in a container will be transmitted equally to all other parts of the container.

Since pressure = Force/Area

The force F2 applied at one end of the piston will generate a pressure of F2/A2. This pressure generated will be transmitted to the other end of the piston of area A1 to lift the load through a distance.

The piston where the load is will experience an upward force F1 which is equal to Pressure × Area.

The pressure experienced by the load is applied by force F2.

Force on the load = (Pressure exerted by Force F2) × Area at the larger end A1

Force on the load = F2/A2 × A1

Since the load experiences a weight W

The weight will be equal to the force on the load which is to be lifted i.e W =Force on the load.

W = F2A1/A2

The load that can be lifted is equal to the weight W = F2A1/A2

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

8.049 MW

Explanation:

The expression for gravitational potential energy is given as

Ep = mgh............. Equation 1

Ep = gravitational potential energy, m = mass of water, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 58.4×10³ kg, h = 20.1 m, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

Ep =  58.4×10³(20.1)(9.81)

Ep = 1.6098×10⁷ J.

If one half the gravitational potential energy of the water were converted to electrical energy

Electrical energy = Ep/2

Electrical energy = (1.6098×10⁷)/2

Electrical energy = 8.049×10⁶ J

In one seconds,

The power generated = 8.049×10⁶ W

Power generated = 8.049 MW

What is the study of kinematics based upon ?<br><br>thankyou ~​
NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.
