    Hydraulic Lever
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the load and mechanical advantage of two hydraulic presses connected by a lever, with surface area ratios of 1:100 and 1:50. A force of 10 Newtons is applied to the smaller piston of the first press. Participants seek clarification on whether the load refers to mass or force and how to calculate the mechanical advantage without knowing the forces involved. There is a suggestion to relate the areas of the presses to derive the necessary forces. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding hydraulic principles to solve the problem accurately.

The two hydraulic press are joined by a lever, the ratio between the SA of the first press is 1:100 and of the second is 1:50, find If a force 10 Newton acts on the small piston of the first press a) the load b) mechanical advantage

What is the load? Is it mass or force and which force
And to get the mechanical advantage should I do total force on small pistols over total force on large pistols, but I don't even have the forces
Should I do a relation between areas of the first press and the second and its forces ?? To obtain forces ?

pistons, not pistols.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
