A hydraulic lift is made by sealing an ideal fluid inside a container with an input piston of cross-sectional area 0.004 m2 , an

d an output piston of cross-sectional area 1.2 m2 . The pistons can slide up or down without friction while keeping the fluid sealed inside. What is the maximum weight that can be lifted when a force of 60 N is applied to the input piston

Answer:

Maximum weight that can be lifted = 18,000 N

Explanation:

Given:

Cross-sectional area of input (A1) = 0.004 m²

Cross-sectional area of the output (A2) = 1.2 m ²

Force (F) = 60 N

Computation:

Pressure on input piston (P1) = F / A1

Assume,

Maximum weight lifted by piston = W

Pressure on output piston (P2) = W / A2

We, know that

P1 = P2

[F / A1]  = [W / A2]

[60 / 0.004] = [W / 1.2]

150,00 = W / 1.2

Weight = 18,000 N

Maximum weight that can be lifted = 18,000 N

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) 1.517\times10^{-11} s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

a)

We take the speed of light, c = 3.0\times10^8 m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}

t=\dfrac{dn}{c}

t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}

t=1.517\times10^{-11}

b)

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}

d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}

d = 3.41 mm

Distinguish between a converging lens and a diverging lens.
andriy [413]

Answer:A converging lens is thickest in the middle and causes parallel light rays to converge through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens. A diverging lens is thinner in the middle and causes parallel light rays to diverge away from the focal point on the same side of the lens.

The tin can with water in its bottom is heated to boil water and the steam is allowed to escape for some time. The open mouth is
Norma-Jean [14]

Explanation:

Water does expand with heat (and contract with cooling), but the amount of expansion is pretty small. So when you boil a can filled with water and seal it, the water will contract slightly as it cools. The can may kink slightly, but that will be it. Actually, most likely the only things you will be able to see is then top and bottom will be sucked in and go concave. Just like a commercial can of beans.

Now if you have a can with a little water and a big air space, things are completely different.

As the water boils, water vapour is given off. Steam. Let it boils for a minute just to make sure (nearly) all the air is expelled and the can is filled with steam.

Now when you put the lid on and cool the can, that steam condenses back to water, and goes from filling the can to a few drops of water. The can is now filled (if that is the right word) with a near vacuum, The air pressure, 15 lbs/square inch, will be pressing on every surface of the can, with nothing inside the can to resist it.

The can will crumple before your eyes.

Explanation:

there is not enough information about the liquid to know the force required for each. ie. stirring a cup of water is different than stirring a cup of pudding.
