You are designing a hydraulic lift for an automobile garage. It will consist of two oil-filled cylindrical pipes of different diameters. A worker pushes down on a piston at one end, raising the car on a platform at the other end. (The thickness of the pipe is 25cm.) To handle a full range of jobs, you must be able to lift cars up to 3000 kg , plus the 300 kg platform on which they are parked. To avoid injury...

A two-meter long pipe filled with water is open at one end and closed at the other. You have at your disposal a tuning fork with a frequency of 250 Hz and a noise meter (a device to measure the intensity of a sound in decibel). Using the tuning fork, you lower the water level until you hear the first three resonances. The first, second, and third resonances are at 0.35m, 1.05m and 1.75m respectively. At the same time, your...

Two faucets can be used to empty a tank of water. Suppose the tank is full. When both faucets are opened at the same time, the tank takes 2 hours to empty. However, if only one faucet is opened, then Faucet A can empty the tank twice as fast as Faucet B. If only Faucet B is opened, how long does it take to empty a full tank?

A pipe-pump assembly is being considered by a farmer for use in irrigating a field during summer. There is an underground water well that is 250 ft deep. The well is an open-hole type in which the free surface of water is about 8 ft below grade. To ensure that one of the pumps will operate for only a few hours per day, the farmer will fill a 2500-gallon tank in 4 hours, which will provide enough water for 2...
