Answer to Question #93681 in Mechanics | Relativity for Vincent Kang'ethe

Question

While using a jack a mechanic applied a force of 100N on the effort piston while raising the rear part of a car.Determine the maximum load that can be raised

Answer 1

We know that

$F=W=mg$

$g=9.8\frac{m}{sec2}$

$F=100\ N$

$m=\frac{F}{g}=\frac{100}{9.8}=10.204\ kg$

So the  the maximum load that can be raised $=10.204\ kg$
