Answer:
(c) reduce atmospheric blurring
Explanation:
Observatories are the locations used to study the celestial events, climate, astronomy etc. As the observations are made with the radio and visible light of the electromagnetic radiations. So in order to have the clear view, observatories are made at higher places far from population, in the dark areas having clear air, where they can clearly observe the sky. Atmospheric blurring is caused by the atmospheric turbulence. That cause the light coming from the stars to get slightly refracted thus effecting the results of the telescopes. In order to overcome it observatories are made at specific places like on the highest mountaintops.
Tension in the rod is responsible for balancing force due to gravity.
It should be at the very top since it has more space to fall which gives it more potential energy
The pressure generated by the piston at the input cylinder must be:
p = F / A = 250 lb-f / 30 in^2
The pressure generated by the piston at the output cylinders is p = F / A = 775 lb-f / A.
Pascal principle rules that both pressures are equal, so:
250 lb-f / 30 in^2 = 775 lb-f / A => A = 775 lb-f * 30 in^2 / 250 lb-f = 93 in^2
Gvien that each output cylinder are 30in^2 you need 93 / 30 = 3.1 cylinders.
Which means that at least you need 4 cylinders to generate a force at least of 775 lb-f.
Answer: 4
