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

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass, m = 0.2kg

Force, F = 200N

Initial velocity, u = 40m/s

Final velocity, v = 25m/s

To find the time;

Ft = m(v - u)

Time, t = m(v - u)/f

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Time, t = 0.2(25 - 40)/200

Time, t = 0.2(-15)/200

Time, t = 3/200

Time, t = 0.015 seconds.

Note: We ignored the negative sign because time can't be negative.

what is the total distance traveled by a bike rider who rides for three hours at 40 km/hr and then two more hours at 50 km/hr?
marta [7]

Answer:

220 km

Explanation:

3 hours at 40 km/hr

40 km = 1 hour

40 km times 3 = 120 km

2 hours at 50 km/hr

50 km = 1 hour

50 times 2 = 100 km

Total distance

120 km + 100 km = 220 km
