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

2. A ball tied to a pole by a rope swings in a circular path with a centripetal acceleration of 2.7 m/s. If the ball has a
Helga [31]

Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

What measures the distance between two consecutive crests of a wave?
Marina86 [1]
Answer A is incorrect
A crest is just one point. It is not the distance between 2 crests.

B  is incorrect
A trough is just 1 point. It is not the distance between 2 troughs.

C is incorrect.
the amplitude measures the height of a crest from the middle of the wave to the crest (or trough).

D is the correct answer. That is the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs

A mechanic pushes a 3540 kg car from rest to a speed of v, doing 4864 J of work in the process. Find the speed v. Neglect fricti
topjm [15]

Answer:

1.66 m/s

Explanation:

Work or kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

4864=\frac{1}{2} (3540)v^{2}

v = 1.66 m/s

Where is the fulcrum of a broom?
algol [13]

It's one of your hands.  Which one it is depends on how you sweep.

-- If you hold the top of the stick motionless and wave your bottom hand
back and forth, then your top hand is the fulcrum, and you're using the
broom as a Class-3 lever.

-- If you hold your bottom hand motionless and wiggle the top end of the
broom back and forth with your top hand, then your lower hand is the fulcrum,
and you're using the broom as a Class-1 lever.
