A 1/2 inch diameter piston moves 10 inches when 30 Lbs of force is applied how far will it move a 6 inch diamter piston and how much weight will this piston lift.
To solve this problem, we can use Pascal's law, which states that the pressure applied to a fluid in a closed system will be transmitted equally to all parts of the system.
First, let's find the area of the pistons.
For the 1/2 inch diameter piston:
Radius = (1/2 inch) / 2 = 1/4 inch
Area = π * (1/4 inch)^2
For the 6 inch diameter piston:
Radius = (6 inches) / 2 = 3 inches
Area = π * (3 inches)^2
Now, let's calculate the force applied to each piston using the given force of 30 lbs:
For the 1/2 inch diameter piston:
Force = 30 lbs
For the 6 inch diameter piston:
Force = (Area of 6 inch piston / Area of 1/2 inch piston) * Force applied to 1/2 inch piston
Next, let's calculate the distance the 6 inch diameter piston will move:
We can use the relationship between force, area, and distance: Force = Pressure * Area.
For the 1/2 inch diameter piston:
Pressure = Force / Area of 1/2 inch piston
For the 6 inch diameter piston:
Distance = (Force / Pressure) * Area of 6 inch piston
Finally, let's calculate how much weight the 6 inch diameter piston can lift:
Weight = Force * (Area of 6 inch piston / Area of 1/2 inch piston)
By plugging in the respective values and calculating, we will be able to determine both how far the 6 inch diameter piston will move and how much weight it will be able to lift based on the given information.
