Question

Un montacargas hidráulico es utilizado para levantar cajas con un peso de 1500 newtons sobre una superficie de 20 cm al cuadrado. ¿Cuál es la fuerza que se aplica sobre una base de 2 cm al cuadrado?​

Answer 1

Answer:

150 N

Explanation:

The question says that, "A hydraulic forklift is used to lift boxes with a weight of 1500 newtons over a surface of 20 cm squared. What is the force applied to a base of 2 cm squared?"

Given that,

Force applied, F₁ = 1500 N

Area, A₁ = 20 cm²

We need to find the force applied to a base of 2 cm². Using Pascal's law to find it such that,

$\dfrac{F_1}{A_1}=\dfrac{F_2}{A_2}\\\\F_2=\dfrac{F_1A_2}{A_1}\\\\F_2=\dfrac{1500\times 2}{20}\\\\F_2=150\ N$

So, the required weight is 150 N.
