A crane is pulling a car, exerting a force F = 6072 [N] with the chain at an angle θ = 31 ° with the ground. If the developed power is 3362 [Watts]. Calculate the time that the car reaches the platform of the crane if it travels a horizontal distance x = 6.4 [m], as shown in the figure. To solve this problem, use gravity as 10 m / s ^ 2.
Consider the piston-cylinder assembly shown below. Heavy weights are added to the piston, compressing the gas. Assume that
the gas reaches an internal pressure of 1.5 bar after the compression is done. The pressure outside the piston-cylinder is 1 bar. We
also know that the piston diameter is 20 [cm.] With how much force doe the gas push upward on the piston (in Newtons?)
