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 ball is moving with velocity 5 m/s in a direction which makes an angle of 30° with horizontal (i.e. with positive x-direction)

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

From the given information:

The initial velocity $v_1$ = 5 m/s

The direction of the angle θ = 30°

Therefore, the component along the x-axis = $v_1 \ cos \ \theta$

$v_{1 \ x } = 5 \ cos \ 30^0$

$v_{1x} = 4.33 \ m/s$

The component along the y-axis = $v_2 { \ sin \ \theta}$

$v_{1 \ y } = 5 \ sin \ 30^0$

$v_{1 \ y } = 2.5 \ m/s$

To find the final velocity( reflected velocity)

using the same magnitude $v_2 = 5 \ m/s$

The angle from the x-axis can be $\theta_r = 90^0+60^0$

= 150°

Thus, the component along the x-axis = $v_2 \ cos \theta _r$

$v_{2x} = - 0.433 \ m/s$

The component along the y-axis = $v_2 \ sin \theta_r$

$v_{2y} = 5 \ sin \ 150^0$

$v_{2y} = 2.5 \ m/s$

(b)

The velocity $v_1$ can be written as in vector form.

$v_1 ^{\to} = v_1 x \hat {i} + v_1 y \hat {j}$

$v_1 ^{\to} =4.33 \ \hat {i} + 2.5 \ \hat {j}$ ---- (1)

The reflected velocity in vector form can be computed as:

$v_2 ^{\to} = v_2 x \hat {i} + v_2 y \hat {j}$

$v_2 ^{\to} =-4.33 \ \hat {i} + 2.5 \ \hat {j}$ --- (2)

The change in velocity = $v_2 ^{\to} - v_1 ^{\to}$

$\Delta v ^{\to} = - 4.33 \hat i + 2.5 \hat j - 4.33 \hat i - 2.5 \hat j$

$\Delta v ^{\to} = - 8.66 \hat { i }$

(c)

The magnitude of change in velocity = $| \Delta V |$

$| \Delta V |$ = 8.66 m/s

A mass weighing 4 pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is 2 lb/ft. The medium offers a damping force that numerically e

Neko [114]

Answer:

the time at which it passes through the equilibrum position is:

t = 0.1 second

Explanation:

given

w= 4pounds

k(spring constant) = 2lb/ft

g(gravitational constant) = 10m/s² = 32ft/s²

β(initial point above equilibrum) = 1

velocity = 14ft/s

attached is an image showing the calculations, because some of the parameters aren't convenient to type.
