It would be safe to stand on the insulated sphere since it is covered by a material that does not allow the passage of current or an insulator. With the insulator, the student can freely touch the sphere but without it, touching the sphere when it is charged is very dangerous as it would electrocute you since the charge from the sphere would freely flow onto your body. Insulators are being used to be able to protect humans from any danger in touching charged objects. Insulators have very high resistance to the flow of current through them. Examples are rubber, glass, cellulose, polystyrene and wood.

The small piston of a hydraulic lift, has an area of 0.01m2. If a force of 250N is applied to the small piston if it has an area
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Small piston Hydraulic piston has an area

A1 = 0.01m²

If the force applied is 250N is applied to the small piston at an area of 0.05 m²

Then,

F2 = 250 N and A2 = 0.05m²

Then, applying pascal principle,

Pressure at small area = pressure are bigger area

P1 = P2

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F1 / 0.01 = 250 / 0.05

F1 / 0.01 = 5000

Cross multiply

F1 = 5000 × 0.01

F1 = 50 N
