Answer

C

Pascal's law

i) The hydraulic lift is an application of Pascal's law. Pascal's law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel.

The correct option is c) Pascal's law.

ii) When pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid, it is transmitted unchanged to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the container. This is a fundamental principle of fluid mechanics, known as Pascal's principle.

The correct option is d) transmitted unchanged to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the container.

iii) For a hydraulic lift, the work done by the input piston is equal to the work done on the output piston (assuming an ideal system).
Let A1A_1 and d1d_1 be the area and distance moved by piston P1, and A2A_2 and d2d_2 be the area and distance moved by piston P2.
Given: A1=AA_1 = A, A2=2AA_2 = 2A, d1=xd_1 = x.
The volume of fluid displaced by piston P1 must be equal to the volume of fluid displaced by piston P2.

V1=V2V_1 = V_2 A1d1=A2d2A_1 d_1 = A_2 d_2

Substitute the given values:

A⋅x=(2A)⋅d2A \cdot x = (2A) \cdot d_2

Divide both sides by AA:

x=2d2x = 2 d_2

Solve for d2d_2:

d2=x2d_2 = \frac{x}{2}

The distance moved by piston P2 is x2\boxed{\frac{x}{2}}.

iv) We use Pascal's principle, which states that the pressure exerted on the fluid by the smaller piston is equal to the pressure exerted by the fluid on the larger piston.
Let F1F_1 be the force applied on the input piston and F2F_2 be the force on the working piston.
Let r1r_1 be the radius of the input piston and r2r_2 be the radius of the working piston.

Given:
r1=2 cmr_1 = 2 \text{ cm}
r2=6 cmr_2 = 6 \text{ cm}
F2=6000 NF_2 = 6000 \text{ N}

The area of a circular piston is A=πr2A = \pi r^2.
So, A1=πr12A_1 = \pi r_1^2 and A2=πr22A_2 = \pi r_2^2.

According to Pascal's principle:

F1A1=F2A2\frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2}

Substitute the area formulas:

F1πr12=F2πr22\frac{F_1}{\pi r_1^2} = \frac{F_2}{\pi r_2^2}

Cancel π\pi from both sides:

F1r12=F2r22\frac{F_1}{r_1^2} = \frac{F_2}{r_2^2}

Solve for F1F_1:

F1=F2(r1r2)2F_1 = F_2 \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2

Substitute the given values:

F1=6000 N×(2 cm6 cm)2F_1 = 6000 \text{ N} \times \left(\frac{2 \text{ cm}}{6 \text{ cm}}\right)^2 F1=6000 N×(13)2F_1 = 6000 \text{ N} \times \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 F1=6000 N×19F_1 = 6000 \text{ N} \times \frac{1}{9} F1=60009 NF_1 = \frac{6000}{9} \text{ N} F1=20003 NF_1 = \frac{2000}{3} \text{ N} F1≈666.67 NF_1 \approx 666.67 \text{ N}

Rounding to the nearest whole number, F1≈667 NF_1 \approx 667 \text{ N}.

The force needed is 667 N\boxed{667 \text{ N}}.
