Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

A glass capillary tube with a diameter of 8.5 mm and length 8 cm is filled with a salt solution with a resistivity of 2.5 ?m. Wh
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The resistance is 3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of tube = 8.5 mm

Length = 8 cm

Resistivity = 2.5 m

We need to calculate the resistance

The resistance is equal to the product of the resistivity and length divided by the area of cross section .

In mathematical form,

R = \dfrac{\rho\times l}{A}

Where, \rho=resistivity

l = length

A = area of cross section

Put the value into the formula

R = \dfrac{2.5\times8\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(\dfrac{8.5}{2}\times10^{-3})^2}

R=3526.32\ \Omega

R=3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

Hence, The resistance is 3.5\times10^{-4}\ \Omega

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

madam [21]

Answer:

The right approach is Option b (the force..................exert on you).

Explanation:

  • Even before you fall on something like a soft object, users eventually slow to a halt. You are still giving away all the downward momentum, but progressively although with small powers, you are doing so.  
  • Although you can get injured by massive powers, this gradual displacement is a positive thing. And that is why you have a mattress you would like to settle on.  

The other options given are not connected to the situation described. So, the solution here was the right one.
