Question
Note: 54.9 kg and 56.5 kg are not the correct answers given to me by previous tutors. Could I please be given the correct answer?

Use this exercise to understand hydraulic systems and practice equation rearrangement.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/f10ee9c1-ac4d-427e-952f-757e77812ad0/39108d02-121e-4ba5-9753-dc6fc17952c4/7k9epiv_thumbnail.png)
Transcribed Image Text:**Educational Exercise on Hydraulic Lift**
A 75 kg student is depicted balancing a 1200 kg elephant on a hydraulic lift. This scenario illustrates the principle of hydraulic balance and pressure.
- **Figure Explanation:**
The figure shows a hydraulic lift system. The student is on the left piston, and the elephant is on the right. Both pistons are submerged in oil, with a distance of 2.0 meters between them. This setup is used to demonstrate the balance of forces in a hydraulic system.
- **Problem Statement (Part B):**
When a second student joins the first, the liquid levels' height difference between the right and left pistons is 35 cm. The task is to determine the mass of the second student.
You need to express your answer with the appropriate units.
- **Current Calculation Attempt:**
An attempt was made to calculate the mass of the second student as 56.5 kg, which was marked incorrect. There are 2 attempts remaining.
For assistance with calculations, consider reviewing:

- Two persons A and B who are at rest on an ice skating rink, push each other so that A acquires a velocity of 11.5 m/s towards North. If the mass of person A is 55 kg and that of B is 43 kg. What is the velocity acquired by B and in which direction?Your answer must be in the order Velocity / Direction.arrow_forwardTwo cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and is approaching at 8.5 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 550 kg and is approaching at 15 m/s due west. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the final velocity, in meters per second, of the cars. (b) Calculate the direction of the final velocity, in degrees south of west, of the cars. (c) What is the change in kinetic energy, in joules, for the collision? (This energy goes into the deformation of the cars.)arrow_forwardAfter falling from rest from a height of 29 m, a 0.45-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 19 m.

- An 70 kg basketball player lands from a jump and tries to stop her forward motion or momentum. The normal contact force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 2800 N. The frictional force exerted by the floor on her shoes is 800 N and this force acts posteriorly on the player. There was minimal medial-lateral force during the landing and so this component of the ground reaction force can be ignored. What is the resultant ground reaction force exerted by the floor on the basketball player's shoes? How many times greater than the player's body weight is this resultant ground reaction force calculated in part a)?arrow_forwardA tennis ball is flying east towards the wall with a speed of 40.3 m/s. After bounced against the wall, it's flying west with a speed of 28.2 m/s. If the mass of the ball is 0.1 kg, and the time of collision with the wall is 0.033 second, what is the magnitude of force on the wall during this process in unit of Newton?arrow_forward(a) Cynthia is in a boat heading due east at 15 m/s and is reading a book. She then finishes the book and throws her book off the back of the boat at a speed of 6 m/s due west. What is the boat’s speed after Cynthia throws the book if the book as a mass of 4 kg and Cynthia and the boat combined have a mass of 700 kg? (b) To demonstrate your ability to carry out deductive reasoning in the context of PC 141, determine the how the velocity of the boat after Cynthia throws the book would change if the book’s mass triples. Does your answer in question #2 above seem reasonable? Briefly explain why or why not?arrow_forward
- Four arrows, all with the same shape and size, are shot directly upward. Ignore the effect of air resistance, but the arrows have different masses and are fired with different speeds. Rank them from highest to lowest in terms of the greatest height that they will reach. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols.

The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 88 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.8 m/s2 backward. Randomized Variables: f = 740 Nm1 = 88 kgm2 = 118 kga = 1.8 m/s2 1. What is the magnitude of the force of friction, in newtons, between the losing player's feet and the grass as he slides backwards? F1 = 2. What is the magnitude of the force, in newtons, that the winning player exerts on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 118 kg? Assume the second player has the same acceleration as the first. F2=arrow_forward
- Michael fell asleep while driving home from school. His 1255 kg car hit a guardrail while moving at 15.98 m/s. The guardrail exerted a 6.110E4 N force on the car for 0.1233 s. After the car hit the guardrail, how fast was it moving?arrow_forwardA high-speed photograph of a club hitting a golf ball is shown in the figure below. The club was in contact with a ball, initially at rest, for about 0.0024 s.
