A plunger, or force cup, is a tool typically used for clearing clogs in Plumbing fixtures like sinks, toilets, and drains. It consists of a rubber suction cup attached to a long handle, allowing users to create a vacuum seal and apply force to dislodge blockages. When pushed and pulled, the suction generated helps to break up or dislodge debris causing the blockage. Plungers come in different designs, with some specifically tailored for toilets or sinks to maximize effectiveness.

A force cup is also known by what name?
A drain plunger is sometimes (though rarely) called a force cup. Asking for a force cup at the hardware store will only slow your ability to get one, and it could easily result in your being thought of as a "wise guy" or something else.
What force moves the plunger when the solenoid is activated?
The magnetic field produced by the solenoid interacts with the plunger's ferromagnetic material, creating a force that moves the plunger. This force is generated due to the attraction between the opposite magnetic poles of the solenoid and the plunger.
What force cause the plunger to return to its at-rest position?
The force that causes a plunger to return to its at-rest position is typically a spring or elastic material that is compressed while the plunger is being pushed down. When the external force is removed, the stored potential energy in the spring or elastic material is released, pushing the plunger back to its original position.
What crumpled a plastic bubble in a syringe when you apply force to the plunger?
The mass in the syringe, as you push down the plunger.
What is the effect on the volume of the air in the syringe if more force is exerted on the plunger?
Increasing the force on the plunger will decrease the volume of air in the syringe as the increased pressure compresses the air.
Why does a toilet plunger able to stick to a wall when you press it?
A toilet plunger can stick to a wall when pressed due to the creation of a partial vacuum between the rubber cup and the wall's surface. When you push the plunger against the wall, the flexible rubber compresses, sealing off the air and forming a low-pressure area. The atmospheric pressure outside the plunger then holds it against the wall, allowing it to stick until enough force is applied to break the seal.
How can I effectively remove a sink plunger?
To effectively remove a sink plunger, grip the handle firmly and pull upwards with steady force until the plunger comes free from the sink drain.
Can you push the plunger all way through the syringe while your thumb presses on the tip of the plunger why or why not?
No, you cannot push the plunger all the way through the syringe while your thumb presses on the tip of the plunger. This is because the plunger is designed to create a seal within the barrel of the syringe, and pressing on the tip prevents the plunger from moving forward. The pressure created by your thumb would counteract the force needed to push the plunger, making it impossible to fully depress it.
What is the reaction force when you place a cup on a table?
The reaction force when you place a cup on a table is the force exerted by the table on the cup in the opposite direction to the force applied by the cup on the table. This force prevents the cup from falling through the table and keeps it in place.
Why is it difficult to pull a plunger off of a surface?
It is difficult to pull a plunger off a surface due to the creation of a vacuum seal. When the plunger is pressed against the surface, the air inside the suction cup is forced out, creating a vacuum. This vacuum seal creates a strong grip between the plunger and the surface, making it hard to pull off.
How do you use the Power Plunger effectively to unclog a drain?
To effectively use the Power Plunger to unclog a drain, follow these steps: Fill the sink or tub with enough water to cover the plunger's cup. Place the plunger over the drain and push down firmly to create a seal. Pump the plunger up and down vigorously for about 20-30 seconds. Repeat the process a few times if necessary. Remove the plunger and test the drain to see if it is unclogged.
Why is it easier to push a smaller plunger in a fluid syatem?
It is easier to push a smaller plunger in a fluid system because the force applied spreads over a smaller area, resulting in higher pressure, which makes it easier to move the plunger through the fluid.
