For the system shown in figure, the cylinder on the left, at L, has a mass of 600 kg and a cross-sectional area of `800 cm^(2)`. The piston on the right, at S, has cross-sectional area `25 cm^(2)` and negligible weight. If the apparatus is filled with oil `(rho=0.78 g//cm^(3))`, what is the force F required to hold the system is equilibrium? . |

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C Let `A_(1)`=area of cross-section on LHS and `A_(2)`=area of cross-section on RHS Equating the pressure on two sides of the dotted line. Then, `(F)/(A_(2))+ rho gh =(Mg)/(A_(1)) (M=600kg)` `:. F=A_(2) [(Mg)/(A_(1))-rhogh]` `=(25xx10^(-4)) [(600xx9.8)/(800xx10^(-4))-780xx9.8xx8]` `=31N`. |
