Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.

The figure below shows a cylindrical water tank with an attached mercury U-tube manometer.

Δh = 0.368 m of mercury
ρHg = 13.6 × 103 kg/m3
ρwater = 1.00 × 103 kg/m3

In a hydraulic lift, the diameter of the pistons are 5.00 cm and 20.0 cm. A car weighing 10.0 kN is to be lifted by the large piston. Determine the following:

5
Pressure in the large piston
6
Pressure in the small piston
7
Force that must be applied to the small piston
8
Distance the car is moved when the small piston is pushed in by 10.0 cm
9
The mechanical advantage of the lift, which is the ratio of Fout/Fapplied

The figure to the right shows a rigid pipe full of a flowing incompressible fluid and an attached mercury manometer.

d1 = 1.00 × 10-1 m = diameter of large pipe
d2 = 2.50 × 10-2 m = diameter of small pipe
ρf = 1.20 × 103 kg/m3 = mass density of fluid
m/t = 9.42 kg/s = mass flow rate of fluid

Determine the following:

21
Volume flow rate of fluid
22
Flow speed through large pipe
23
Flow speed through small pipe
24
Difference in pressure between the two pipes
25
Difference in mercury level in the sides of the U-tube
