A hydraulic lift is used to raise an automobile of mass 1510 kg. The radius of the shaft of the lift is 8.0 cm and that of the piston is 1.0 cm. How much force must be applied to the piston to raise the automobile?\

Respuesta :

Answer:

applied force on piston is 302.308163 N

Explanation:

Given data

mass = 1510 kg

weight = 1510 × 9.81 = 14813.1 N

radius = 8 cm

piston =  1.0 cm

to find out

force

solution

we will apply here pascal principal i.e

weight of automobile / area 1  = applied force on piston / area 2

so applied force on piston = weight of automobile × area 2  / area 1

and we know that areas is proportional to square of diameter

so area 2  / area 1 = (0.01/0.08)²

so  applied force on piston = weight of automobile × (0.01/0.08)²

applied force on piston = 14813.1  × (0.01/0.07)²

applied force on piston is 302.308163 N
