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
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The relationship between the direction of energy and wave motion in a transverse wave would be the <span>energy direction is perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
Answer:
Yes! Light from the sun can affect the materials certain carpets are made out of. The usual effect being the dye in the carpet being "washed out" or "dried out" as the sun beams down on it. When this happens, the carpet will usually lose its color, causing it to fade.
Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.
Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.
