In a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston that has a circular cross section and a

radius of 5.00 cm. The pressure is transmitted by a liquid to a piston that has a radius of 15.0 cm. a) What force must the compressed air exert to lift a car weighing 13,300N? b) What air pressure produces this force?
Answer: a) 1.48 x 103 N b) 1.88 x 105 Pa

How do you show the work on this?

Answer:

a) F₁ = 1.48 x 10³ N

b) P = 1.88*10⁵ Pa

c) The work  is equal in both pistons

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 per unit area:

P=\frac{F}{A}  Formula (1)

P₁=P₂

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } =\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} } Formula (2)

Data

r₁= 5 cm = 0.05 m

r₂= 15 cm = 0.15 m

F₂=  13300N

Area of the pistons (A₁,A₂)

A=π*r² : Area of the circle

A₁ = π*(0.05)²=7.85*10⁻³ m²

A₂= π*(0.15)²= 70.69*10⁻³ m²

a) Force that compressed air must exert to lift a car weighing 13300 N

We replace data in the formula (2)

\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } =\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }

F_{1} = \frac{13300*7.85*10^{-3} }{70.69*10^{-3} }

F₁ =  1.48 x 10³ N

b) Air pressure produced by F₁

We replace data in the formula (1)

P=\frac{F}{A}

F₁ =  1.48 x 10³ N , A₁ = 7.85*10⁻³ m²

P=\frac{1.48*10^{3} }{7.85*10^{-3} }

P= 1.88*10⁵ Pa

c)The volume of liquid displaced by the small piston is distributed in a thin layer on the large piston, so that the product of the force by the displacement (the work) is equal in both pistons.

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1 4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The train travelled 10hours.

Explanation:

Using speed= distance/time ...eq1

Let the time taken by train to cover the journey be t.

Let the speed of train be s

Time= distance/speed ...eq2

Time t =600/s ...eq3

The train is delayed for 1 1/2 hours=3/2 hours

Train increased by 15km/hr.

Train travelled 1/4 of 600k.= 150km.

Speed increased by s + 15 to cover the remaining 450km

t = 150/s + 400/(s + 15) + 3/2 ..eq4

Equating eq3 and 4

600/s= 150/s + 460/(s + 15) + 3/2

450/s = 3/2 + 450/(s + 15)

3s^2 + 45s -13500=0

Solving the quadratic equation

S= -45 +-sqrt(45^2-4(3×13500)/2×3

S= 60 , -75

Hence speed of train is 60km/hr

Using eq 2 distance/speed=time

600/60=10

t= 10hours

What are some ways to separate a mixture?
stiks02 [169]

la separación mecánica de un sólido de grano grueso, insoluble, en un líquido; consiste en verter cuidadosamente el líquido, después de que se ha sedimentado el sólido.  Por este proceso se separan dos líquidos miscibles, de diferente densidad, por ejemplola separación de un sólido disuelto en un líquido, por calentamiento, hasta que hierve y se transforma en vapor. Como no todas las sustancias se evaporan con la misma rapidez, el sólido disuelto se obtiene en forma pura, agua y aceite.
