(a) If the woman balances on one heel, what pressure does she exert on the floor? (b) Should the homeowner be concerned? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardkg II. Solve for what is asked in the problem. What is the density of a metal cube that has 6.5 cm at each side, and was drilled with a cylindrical hole of 1.5 cm at the center, drilled all the way through two faces of the metal? The cube weighs 8.00 N.arrow_forwardWe’ve discussed elevators that are raised with cables, but many elevators use pistons. A pump provides fluid at very high pressure to the piston; the resulting force on the piston raises the elevator and passengers. For a typical piston elevator, the mass of the elevator and passengers is 2000 kg and the radius of the piston is a surprisingly small 4.2 cm. The elevator begins to move upward, accelerating at 0.80 m/s2. What is the pressure in the piston?arrow_forward

When a force of 75.8 Newtons is applied to the input piston, the output piston lifts a 1950 kg car at a constant speed. Assume both pistons are frictionless and have negligible mass. 75.8 N (a) What is the diameter of the input piston, in cm?

A 1000 kg wind turbine is mounted on the end of a 24-m long, 700 kg tower that connects to a support column at a pivot. A piston connected 3.0 m from the pivot applies the force needed to raise or lower the tower. At the instant shown, the wind turbine is being raised at a very slow, constant speed.

The planets are all connected to the center of the sun by means of steel rods of varying lengths and at varying angles relative to the x-axis as shown above. The steel rods are all 0.5 cm in diameter and are made of steel having a density of 7.88 g/cm3. We’d like to suspend the model from it’s center of mass, but it doesn’t look like the center of mass coincides with the position of the Sun. Find the center of mass of the model (direction and angle) relative to the Sun in the center of the model. The Styrofoam spheres are so much lighter in comparison to the rods, that their mass can be neglected. Hint: calculate the center of mass for the x and y dimensions separately, then combine them to get the final answerarrow_forwardA dump truck uses a hydraulic cylinder, as the drawing illustrates, to raise the trailer.
