Answer:
Explanation:
From he question we are told that
The first mass is 
The second mass is 
From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where
are hanged ) is attached is zero
Therefore we can say that

Making x the subject of the formula



Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where
are hanged is as a result of the masses (
)
Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where (
) and
are hanged ) is attached is zero
So basically


Making
subject


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

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)
F₂ = 10000 N
W₂= F₂= 10000 N
