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 believe it would best represent Newton’s first law; an object tends to stay at rest and an object tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. When the dog stops walking, the doll will continue to go forward because there is no unbalanced force acting in it.
Two thermometers, calibrated in celsius and fahrenheit respectively, are put into a liquid. the reading on the fahrenheit scale is four times the reading on the celsius scale. the temperature of the liquid is:

More cool stars produce much of their light in the red part of the spectrum, so you see them, and bam, the color red. More hot stars, however, produce much more of their light in the green and or yellow spectrums, with much more tinier amounts of red / blue. This balance of the colors, your eye, sees simply as white. The more hot something is, the greater frequency of radiation it produces! Blue light has a higher frequency than red light, so the stars that glow red are cooler, than the stars that glow blue. :)
Hope this helped!
