Explanation:

Matter is changed from one state to another by addition or removal of heat and suitable pressure conditions.

When a solid is heated, it normally melts and changes to liquids which on heating changes to vapor. The randomness of the particles increases from solid to liquid state and to gaseous states.

Also, a gas can be cooled to liquid and on further cooling transformed into a solid matter.

These phase changes are brought about by energy changes in a system. Some form of matter can also sublime by changing form solid to gas and vice versa.

A force of 6600 N is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.010 m2

Answer:

Choice A: approximately $0.015\; \rm m^2$ , 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:

$\displaystyle P_1 = \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{6.600\times 10^3\; \rm N}{1.0\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m^{2}} = 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}$ .

By Pascal's Principle, because the first piston exerted a pressure of $6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}$ 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 $6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}$ . In other words:

$P_2 = P_1 = 6.6\times 10^{5}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}$ .
