Answer:

force and surface area are two factors affecting pressure on solids

more the force you apply, more will be the pressure

pressure and force are directly proportional meaning if Force is greater, pressure will also be greater

more the surface area of the solid less will be the pressure

surface area and pressure are inversely proportional meaning if surface are is big, pressure will be less, surface area small, pressure will be greater

Answer and Explanation:

We have a basic equation: Pressure = Force/Area.

So for example:

Increase pressure - increase the force or reduce the area the force acts on.

Decrease pressure - decrease the force, or increase the area the force acts on

The force per unit area is pressure. The force on the object is spread over the surface area. The area where the force is applied is divided by the equation for pressure.

How is velocity ratio of wheel and axle calculatedaad<br>

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Explanation:

A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.

The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.6 m from the center of the ride. then the operator turns on the rid

ioda

<span>Radius = 4.6 m
Time for one complete rotation t = 5.5 s.
Distance = 2 x 3.14 x R = 2 x 3.14 x 4.6 m = 28.888.
Velocity V = distance / time = 28.888 / 5.5 s = 5.25 m/s
Force exerted by cat Fc = mV^2 / R = (mx 5.25^2) / 4.6 m
Force of the cat Fc = 6m, m being the mass.
Normal force = Us x m x g = Us x m x 9.81 = Us9.81m
equating the both forces => Us9.81m = 6m => Us = 6 / 9.81 => Us = 0.6116 So coefficient of static friction = 0.6116</span>
