The portable work platform is elevated by means of the two hydraulic cylinders articulated at points C.
Question:
The portable work platform is elevated by means of the two hydraulic cylinders articulated at points C. The pressure in each cylinder produces a force F. The platform, man, and load have a combined mass m, and the mass of the linkage is small and may be neglected. Determine the upward acceleration a of the platform and show that it is independent of both b and θ.
b. B b/2 b/2 b/2 b/2 C

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
