उत्तर
0.8711 × 106 N/m2
Explanation:
Apply Newton’s second law of motion to find the force:
F = mg
Substitute the value mass as m = 2000 kg and acceleration due to gravity as g = 9.81 m/s2 to find the force exerted by the piston.
F = mg
F = 2000 kg × 9.81 m/s2
F = 19620 N
Use the law of pressure
p = `F/A`
Substitute the value of force as F = 19620 N, and area as A = 2.25 × 10–2m2 to calculate the maximum pressure the hydraulic lift can bear.
Pmax = `(19620N)/(2.25 xx 10^-2m^2)`
Pmax = 0.8711 × 106Pa
