a. A force of 50N is applied to the input piston of a hydraulic system the area of the input piston’s 60 cm2, and that of the output piston’s 15 cm2. (a) How much force does the output piston expert? (b) If the input piston moves 2.0cm per stroke, how far does the output piston move?
Replace the force system by an equivalent
A pulley is mounted on a frictionless axis and then the pulley is attached to the
higher end of the inclined surface as shown in the figure. A massless cord is
wrapped around the pulley while its other end is tied to a 1.0 kg object. The pulley
has a radius of 20 cm and moment of inertia of 0.4 kg m2
. The angle of the surface is 37° and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. The object is released from rest. The pulley starts to rotate as the object moves and the cord unwinds.
Determine the acceleration of the object and the tension in the cord.
