The narrow edges to the blades of ice-skating shoes are designed to put great pressure on the ice, and help the skater to glide over the ice. Shoe-shoes are designed to spread your weight and help you to walk over deep snow without sinking in too deeply.

For a machine with a mechanical advantage of 3 how does the distance through which the output force is exerted differ from the distance through which the input force is exerted?

In a machine with a mechanical advantage of 3, the output force is exerted over a shorter distance compared to the distance over which the input force is exerted. The output force is three times greater than the input force but is exerted over a third of the distance traveled by the input force due to the principle of work conservation.


How does the air pressure differ between winter and summer seasons?

During winter, air pressure tends to be higher because cold air is denser and sinks, creating higher pressure. In summer, air pressure is lower because warm air rises, creating lower pressure.


What is the definition of an incompressible fluid and how does it differ from compressible fluids?

An incompressible fluid is a substance that does not change its volume when subjected to pressure. In contrast, compressible fluids can change their volume when pressure is applied.


Diferentiate between pushing and pulling forces?

Pushing forces are forces that result from an object being moved away from you, while pulling forces are forces that result from an object being moved towards you. In pushing, the force is exerted in the direction opposite to the motion, while in pulling, the force is exerted in the direction of the motion.


Does same type balloons withstand the same amount of pressure?

No, the ability to withstand pressure is determined by various factors such as material, design, and thickness of the balloon. Two balloons of the same type may not withstand the same amount of pressure if they differ in these characteristics.

How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or a gas?

The pressure exerted by a solid object is in only one direction.

How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or gas?

In a liquid or gas the pressure at any given point is the same in all directions. In a solid the pressure can vary depending on direction. So, for example, the vertical pressure can be greater or less than the horizontal pressure.


What is pressure and how does it differ from force?

Pressure is a type of force, one which presses or pushes. A different type of force would be pulling. The word pressure is particularly used when we are talking about a force that is exerted by a gas or a liquid, which is distributed over some wide area. Normal atmospheric pressure, for example, is 24 pounds per square inch, and it is exerted on everything that is in the atmosphere at sea level (the pressure declines at higher altitude).


How do storms differ in low pressure and high pressure systems?

There are no storms in high pressure systems. That's where the clear skies are.

What equipment is required for a figure skater?

The equipments for figure skating differ. Of course, skates. For the skates you will need guards to protect your blades. If you are planning to compete you will need skates, outfits, music, and lots of support and practice, partner if working with someone, coach, skating rink, and a bunch of happiness.


What should the low pressure be on a hvac system?

The pressure should be equal to a saturated suction temperature of around 40*F. The pressure would differ depending on which refrigerant is used.


How does a rupture disk differ from a fusible plug?

A rupture disk (disc) is a pressure relief device that reliefs pressure when the pressure inside the protected equipment exceeds the set pressure. A fusible plug reliefs pressure when the plug is weakened due to high temperature.


What do you where under a speed skating outfit?

Personally I just wear compression shorts and an Under Armour sleeveless shirt. But it's totally up to you, and it would differ for different arenas because of the temperature.
