I also had a small lump behind my ear that I thought was a pimple. It turns out that it was a cyst that they removed at the doctors office. He told me that it was more than likely a cause of stress, I often get small white ones on my face that I have had lanced off and there are no visible scars. I would get that checked out to make sure that's not the case. He said they don't have to be removed, it's more of a cosmetic thing, but just to be safe have it looked at. I have the exact same thing and I don't know what it is. I thought it was a pimple and then it grew and now i have like 2 of them it also feels as though something is pushing on my ear and around that area. So I'm not sure what it is ..but I think it's probably swollen lymph nodes but I'm not sure.

What Could A Painful Bump Behind The Right Ear Be?
  • The likelihood of it being skin cancer is low. However, you should have it looked at. Some people get little hard cysts (not cancerous) and they will either go down on their own or you can leave them or have them removed. It's best to let your doctor decide what it is.
  • You most definitely should see a doctor immediately! However the chances of it being skin cancer aren't as good as the chances are that it is a Sebaceous Cyst.
  • If it is a cancer of course you need to see a doctor and discuss treatment options. However if it is a Sebaceous Cyst like I sespect it is you still need to see a doctor. DO NOT wait it out and see if it goes down. Sebaceous Cysts can rupture and depending on the size and location of the cyst it can do serious damage. My niece had a Sebaceous Cyst on the right side of her neck when she was thirteen. She didn't tell her mother because she knew she would have to go to the doctors; luckily her mother found it when she was sleeping and took her to the doctor. But the cyst grew to be so large that if she had waited even two more days it would have ruptured leaving...well basicly a large whole in her throat which obviously would have killed her.

How much pressure can create one joules of heat?

Almost unlimited. Pressure is force divided by area; if the heat is applied in a very small area (small volume), even a small amount of heat can cause a tremendous pressure.


Why do hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area?

Hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area to magnify the pressure delivered to the opposite end. This is vindicated by the formula Pressure = Force per unit Area.

How can pressure by amplified through hydraulic mechanisms?

Pressure is not amplified by a hydraulic system. You apply a force to a small area,and that creates a pressure equal to (your force)/(the small area).The key that makes hydraulic systems useful is the fact that this pressure goeseverywhere throughout the whole sealed system, and exerts the same pressureeverythere. So in another part of the system, there's a movable plate that has1,000 times the area of the little spot that you pushed on. But it has the samepressure against it that you exerted against the small area.The total force on the big area is (pressure) x (the big area) =(your force)/(the small area) x (the big area) =(your force)/(the small area) x (1,000 x the small area) = 1,000 x times your force !The hydraulic system amplifies the total force, by applying the same pressureto a larger area.


Use of air pressure lift based on pascal's law?

according to pascals law pressure is transmitted equally and undiminised in all direction. So Force=pressure x area. such machines one side area is small and other side is large. A small force is applied to small area and according to the equation it produces large force.,
