Concept explainers

Free Body Diagram

The system of forces acting on a body tends to either rotate it or make the body undergo motion. In general, when an external agent exerts a force on a body, the body undergoes translational motion and rotational motion. The body has six degrees of freedom under the influence of that force. Here, three degrees of freedom are from the translational motion while the other three are from the rotation motion. However, sometimes the bodies are not allowed to undergo any motion and are fixed, under such conditions the body is said to be constrained.

1. Hydraulic jacks are one of the many tools humans use to develop a so-called "mechanical advantage". The basic idea is that a relatively small force applied to the smaller-area piston can counteract a relatively large force applied to the larger-area piston. F₂ a) Ignoring the weight of the fluid (i.e., ignoring changes in hydrostatic pressure due to the density of the fluid) and any friction between the piston and the sidewalls, show that F2 = F₁ AR A₁ in static equilibrium. b) The mechanical advantage of the hydraulic jack can be defined as the ratio of the force applied to piston 2 to the force applied to piston 1 in order to keep the system in static equilibrium. For circular pistons, use the relationship in part a) to plot the mechanical advantage as a function of the diameter ratio of the pistons. Explain the significance of this mechanical advantage. c) Consider a hydraulic jack in static equilibrium with both pistons at the same elevation. If you do not consider the weight of…
1. The piston hydraulic system can lift very heavy objects with a force significantly lower than that of direct lifting. Imagine a system in which the cross-sectional area of the piston is rectangular rather than a typical circle. The cross-sectional area of the small piston is 20 cm × 40 cm, while the cross-sectional area of the large piston is 2.5 meters × 6 meters. (a) How much force would need to be applied to the smaller piston to lift a 1300-kg car? (Ignore any height differences in the fluid) (b) Use proportional reasoning, order of magnitude, and/or related quantities sense-making techniques to determine if your answer to (a) is reasonable?
