A hydraulic lift has 1000 N applied to an input piston that has an area of 30 cm2.
What is the pressure exerted on the input piston?
pressure is measured in Pascals (newtons per square meter)
p = 1000 N / .003 m^2
Thank you R_scott
A hydraulic lift has 1000 N applied to an input piston that has an area of 30 cm2.
What is the pressure exerted on the liquid by the input piston?
Well, if we want to find the pressure, we just need to divide the force by the area. So, let's do some math!
Pressure = Force / Area
First, we need to convert the area from cm² to m², since pressure is typically measured in pascals (Pa).
Area = 30 cm² = 30 × 10⁻⁴ m²
Now, we can calculate the pressure:
Pressure = 1000 N / (30 × 10⁻⁴ m²)
And the answer is... drum roll, please...
Pressure = Too high for my clown brain to handle! Just make sure you don't need a balloon to keep your feet on the ground!
To find the pressure exerted on the input piston, we can use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
In this case, the force applied to the input piston is 1000 N, and the area of the piston is 30 cm^2.
First, let's convert the area from cm^2 to m^2:
1 cm^2 = 0.0001 m^2
So, the area of the piston in m^2 is:
30 cm^2 * 0.0001 m^2/cm^2 = 0.003 m^2
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Pressure = 1000 N / 0.003 m^2
Calculating the division, we get:
Pressure = 333,333.33 N/m^2
Therefore, the pressure exerted on the input piston is approximately 333,333.33 N/m^2.
