A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressib

le oil with a density of 800 kg/m3 and capped at both ends with tight-fitting pistons. The wider arm of the U-tube has a radius of 18.0 cm and the narrower arm has a radius of 5.00 cm. The car rests on the piston on the wider arm of the U-tube. The pistons are initially at the same level. What is the force that must be applied to the smaller piston in order to lift the car after it has been raised 1.20 m? (For purposes of this problem, you can neglect the weight of the pistons.)

This is a hydraulic system, and these systems rely on the incompressible nature of fluids to transmit pressure through the fluid equally. Therefore, the pressure on the wide side of the U-tube (the side with the car) must be equal to the pressure on the narrow side of the U-tube. We begin by calculating the pressure on the wider side:
Pressure on wide side = pressure due to car + pressure due to difference in height of oil

The pressure by the car is calculated using:
Pressure = force / area
P = 12,000 / (π * 0.18²)
P = 118 kPa

While the pressure due to the oil is given by:
Pressure = density * gravitational field strength * height
P = 800 * 9.81 * 1.2
P = 9.4 kPa

Pressure on wide side:
118 + 9.4 = 127.4 kPa

Pressure on the narrow side will be given by:
Pressure = force / area
Force = area * pressure
Force = (π * 0.05²)(127,000)
Force = 997 Newtons

The force required is about 1 kN

A positively-charged piece of plastic exerts an attractive force on an electrically neutral piece of paper. This is because: 1.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

1 ) Electrons are less massive than than atomic nuclei.

Explanation:

A positively charged body tends to attract negatively charged particle and repel positively charged particle. Neutral body consists of atoms which contain both positively charged particles ( electrons ) and negatively charged particles ( protons ). Electrons are small and light in weight . Both electrons and protons experience equal and opposite force by an external charged body but shift in electron is more because of their being comparatively lighter. So the body gets polarized due to uneven distribution of charge. This results into body getting attracted through the process of induction.

Now slowly begin to raise the temperature. At approximately what temperature would a heated material (metal, wood, etc.) begin t
Sav [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Wien's displacement law which is as follows .

λ T = b where λ is wavelength of light that is coming out of hot body to maximum extent .

Putting the value of temperature given and b

λ x 500 = 2898 μmK

λ = 5.796 μm = 5796 nm

For temp 1050 K

λ = 2760 nm

For temp 1800 K

λ = 1610  nm

For temp 2500 K

λ = 1159.2  nm

The visible range starts from 740 nm .

Hence we can expect that some amount of visible light may emerge at the temperature of 2500K because the wavelength that we have calculated above gives the value of peak wavelength of a spectrum of light coming out of hot body .
