Answer:
16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.
Explanation:
Force applied on the piston = 
Area of the piston = 
Force applied on the brakes = 
Area of the brakes = 
Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.


16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.
Answer:
-22/15
Explanation:
the least common denominator is 15 so first you multiply -2/3 by 5 in both the numerator and denominator making it -10/15
Then you do the same to -4/5 except you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 giving you -12/15
If you add -10/15+ -12/15 you get -22/15
Answer:
Approximately
(rounded down,) assuming that
.
The number of repetitions would increase if efficiency increases.
Explanation:
Ensure that all quantities involved are in standard units:
Energy from the cookie (should be in joules,
):
.
Height of the weight (should be in meters,
):
.
Energy required to lift the weight by
without acceleration:
.
At an efficiency of
, the actual amount of energy required to raise this weight to that height would be:
.
Divide
by
to find the number of times this weight could be lifted up within that energy budget:
.
Increasing the efficiency (the denominator) would reduce the amount of energy input required to achieve the same amount of useful work. Thus, the same energy budget would allow this weight to be lifted up for more times.
