Answer:
Choice A: approximately
, assuming that the two pistons are connected via some confined liquid to form a simple machine.
Explanation:
Assume that the two pistons are connected via some liquid that is confined. Pressure from the first piston:
.
By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of
on the liquid, the liquid will now exert the same amount of pressure on the walls of the container.
Assume that the second piston is part of that wall. The pressure on the second piston will also be
. In other words:
.
To achieve a force of
, the surface area of the second piston should be:
.
By the law of momentum conservation:-
=>m¹u¹ + m²u² = m1v1 + m²v² {let East is +ve}
=>u¹ + u² = v¹ + v² {as m1=m2}
=>3.5 - 2.75 = v1-1.5
<span>
=>v¹ = 2.25 m/s (East) </span>
This means that there is same current flow in both the circuit, or the circuit one has twice the power of circuit two.
According to ohm's law, the resistance is given as
I=V/R
Since the circuit one has twice the voltage, and resistance
I1=I2
