In a machine shop, a hydraulic lift is used to raise heavy equipment for repairs. the system has a small piston with a cross-sectional area of 0.075 m2 and a large piston with a cross-sectional area of 0.237 m2 . an engine weighing 3400 n rests on the large piston. what force must be applied to the small piston in order to lift the engine? answer in units of n.

Explanation:

Given:

Now, using Pascal's law which state that the pressure change in at any point in a confined continuum of an incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid at its each point.

is the required effort force.

   F = 1076 N

Explanation:

given,

small piston area, a = 0.075 m²

large piston area, A = 0.237 m²

weight on the large piston, W = 3400 N

force applied on the second piston, F = ?

using pascal law for the force calculation

   F = 0.3165 x 3400

   F = 1076 N

The force applied to the small piston in order to lift the engine is equal to 1076 N.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
