    Calculating Forces & Heights in a Hydraulic Lift

    Trying to figure this out: b.) (r/R)^2 so, therefore it should be (1.75/10.5)^2 which = .0278 c.) MA= F/f = 18.5/.514 = 35.9 ?

    Calculating Forces & Heights in a Hydraulic Lift

    (18.5/514)^2 ?? and then I think c.) is MA=F/f = 18.5/.514 = 35.9 Can anyone help?

    How Does Air Speed Affect Aircraft Weight?

    I'm sorry- I am not good at this. Are you saying the lift is the same as the weight?

    Torque & Net Work Homework: Find Average Torque & Net Work

    Is this correct? mass m = 0.25 Kg diameter d = 31 cm radius r = 15.5 cm = 0.155 m moment of inertia I = (1/2)mr^2 = 0.003 Kg m^2 (a) ω1 = 0 n = 33 1/3 = 100/3 = 33.33 rpm = 0.5555 rps ω2 = 2πn = 2*3.14*0.5555 = 3.48854 rad/s t = 1.5 s we know that torque τ = I α = I (ω2 - ω1)/t = 0.00697708 N...
