B. A hydraulic jack has a ram of 20 cm diameter and a plunger of 3 cm diameter. It is used for lifting a weight of 3 tons. Find

lozanna [386]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

According to the Pascal's law

F / A = f / a

Where, F is the force on ram, A be the area of ram, f be the force on plunger and a be the area of plunger.

Diameter of ram, D = 20 cm, R = 20 / 2 = 10 cm

A = π R^2 = π x 100 cm^2

F = 3 tons = 3000 kgf

diameter of plunger, d = 3 cm, r = 1.5 cm

a = π x 2.25 cm^2

Use Pascal's law

3000 / π x 100 = f / π x 2.25

f = 67.5 Kgf

The eiffel tower has a mass of 7.3 million kilograms and a height of 324 meters. its base is square with a side length of 125 me

uranmaximum [27]

Since the tower base is square with a side length of 125 m,

Therefore,

$(125\ m)^2+ (125\ m)^2=31250 m^2$

Square root of 31250 = 176.776953 (Diameter) , so this is the diameter of the cylinder to enclose it, and radius, r = 88.38834765 m and height, h = 324 m.

The volume of cylinder,

$=\pi r^2h=3.14(88.38834765 m)^2\times 324 m =7948168.803\ m^3$

Thus, the mass of the air in the cylinder,

$=1.225\ kg/m^3 \times 7948168.803\ m^3=9736506.78\ kg$

Hence, the mass of the air in the cylinder is this more than the mass of the tower.

An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the 0-inch mark to the east and the 36-inch mark to the west. It start

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The total distance traveled is 28 inches.
The displacement is 2 inches to the east.

Explanation:

Lets put a frame of reference in the problem. Starting the frame of reference at the point with the 0-inch mark, and making the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing in the west direction, the ant start at position

$\vec{r}_0 = 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

Then, moves to

$\vec{r}_1 = 29 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

so, the distance traveled here is

$d_1 = |\vec{r}_1 - \vec{r}_0 | = | 29 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_1 = | 13 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_1 = 13 \ inch$

after this, the ant travels to

$\vec{r}_2 = 14 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

so, the distance traveled here is

$d_2 = |\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1 | = | 14 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 29 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_2 = | - 15 \ inch \ \hat{i} |$

$d_2 = 15 \ inch$

The total distance traveled will be:

$d_1 + d_2 = 13 \ inch + 15 \ inch = 28 \ inch$

The displacement is the final position vector minus the initial position vector:

$\vec{D}=\vec{r}_2 - \vec{r}_1$

$\vec{D}= 14 \ inch \ \hat{i} - 16 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

$\vec{D}= - 2 \ inch \ \hat{i}$

This is 2 inches to the east.

Which two pieces of data indicate that Uranus resides in the outer region of the solar system

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Our solar system has total eight planets out of which four are inner planets and four are outer planets. The four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The common characteristics of outer planets is that they are gaseous planets. They are larger on size than the inner rocky planets and are faraway from Sun. They have larger period of revolution around the Sun.

Uranus is a gaseous planet and lies far from Sun and hence has large period of revolution. It takes 84 Earth years to revolve around Sun. This data indicates that Uranus resides in the outer region of the Solar System.
