    Force and distance in a hydraulic lift with two pistons

    Trying to figure this out: b.) (r/R)^2 so, therefore it should be (1.75/10.5)^2 which = .0278 c.) MA= F/f = 18.5/.514 = 35.9 ?

    Force and distance in a hydraulic lift with two pistons

    (18.5/514)^2 ?? and then I think c.) is MA=F/f = 18.5/.514 = 35.9 Can anyone help?

    Force and distance in a hydraulic lift with two pistons

    I just realized my problem had the wrong numbers- so I edited the problem... For part b.) is my ratio now 18.5/514?

    How Does Air Speed Affect Aircraft Weight?

    I'm sorry- I am not good at this. Are you saying the lift is the same as the weight?

    How Does Air Speed Affect Aircraft Weight?

    Homework Statement Air (density= 1.29 kg/m^3) passes over the top surface of an aircraft whoe effective wing surface area is 75.5 m^2 at a speed of 255 m/s. If the air speed beneath the wings is 135 /s, what is the weight of the plane. Homework Equations W=mg The Attempt at a...

    Force and distance in a hydraulic lift with two pistons

    Homework Statement In a hydraulic lift the radii of the pistons are 1.75cm and 10.5cm. A car weighing 18.5kN is to be lifted by the force of the large piston. a.) what force must be applied to the small piston? b.) when the small piston is pushed 1.00cm, how far is the car lifted? c.) find...

    Finding average torque and net work for a spinning turntable

    Is this correct? mass m = 0.25 Kg diameter d = 31 cm radius r = 15.5 cm = 0.155 m moment of inertia I = (1/2)mr^2 = 0.003 Kg m^2 (a) ω1 = 0 n = 33 1/3 = 100/3 = 33.33 rpm = 0.5555 rps ω2 = 2πn = 2*3.14*0.5555 = 3.48854 rad/s t = 1.5 s we know that torque τ = I α = I (ω2 - ω1)/t = 0.00697708 N...

    Finding average torque and net work for a spinning turntable

    Homework Statement An old 33 1/3 rpm turntable may be approximated by a cylindrical disk of mass 0.250kg and a diameter of 31.0cm. a.) What average torque will bring it up to operating speed in 1.50 seconds starting from rest? b.) what net work is done on the disk in bringing it up...

    Wheel slowing from 210 rpm to rest in 15 seconds

    so 1/2(3.5 + 0) (15) = 1/2 (52.5) = 26.25 rev

    How Long Does It Take Astronaut Jane to Drift Back to Her Spaceship?

    then 0=175(final velocity) + 40 final velocity = -40/175 = -0.23 m/s ??
