Answer:

decrease the area in the second cylinder

Explanation:

In a two-cylinders pneumatic system, the pressure exerted on the first cylinder is equal to the pressure on the second cylinder:

p_1 = p_2

We can rewrite the pressure as product between force (F) and area (A) of the cylinder:

F_1 A_1 = F_2 A_2

In this system, the output force should be 4 times the input force:

F_2 = 4 F_1

Substituting into the previous equation, we get:

F_1 A_1 = 4 F_1 A_2\\A_2 = \frac{A_1}{4}

This means that the area of the second cylinder must be 1/4 of the area of the first cylinder, so the correct answer is

decrease the area in the second cylinder

If you ride quickly down a hill on a bicycle your eardrums are pushed in before they pop back. Why is this?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

<em>The difference in pressure between the external air pressure, and the internal air pressure of the middle ear.</em>

Explanation:

First of all, we should note that pressure decreases with height and increases with depth. The air within the middle ear (between the ear drum and the Eustachian tube) adjusts itself to respond to the atmospheric pressure, or when we yawn.  At a high altitude like on the hill, the air pressure in the middle ear, is fairly low (this is to balance the low air pressure at this height). While riding down the hill quickly, there is little time for the air pressure in the ear to readjust itself to the increasing external air pressure, causing the external air to push into the ear drum. Along the way, the air within the middle ear is adjusted by the opening of the Eustachian tube, allowing more air into the space in the middle ear to balance the external air pressure. This readjustment causes the ear to pop.
