3 0

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

$W = E_p = mgh$

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

$W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J$

Answer:

d. 10000N

Explanation:

When a force ( $F_1$ ) is exerted on the smaller area piston ( $A_1$ ), the pressure that originates therein is transmitted to the larger area piston( $A_2$ ). According to Pascal's principle the pressure on the smallest piston ( $P_1=\frac{F_1}{A_1}$ ) will be equal to the pressure on the largest piston ( $P_2=\frac{F_2}{A_2}$ ):
