Question

State Pascal’s law. (2) b) The area of one end of a U-tube is 0.01 m2 and that of the other

Answer 1

Answer:

Pascal Law's says that:

If the area of one end of a U-tube is A, and the area of the other end is A'. then if we apply a force F in the first end (the one of area A), the force experienced at the other end must be:

F' = F*(A'/A).

b) Now we can apply this to our particular case:

if the area of one end is 0.01m^2, and the area of the other end is 1m^2

Then we have:

A = 0.01m^2

A' = 1m^2

So, if now we apply a force F in the first end, the force experienced at the other end will be:

F' = F*(1m^2/0.01m^2) = F*100

This means that the force in the other end must be 100 times the force in the first end.
