QV: a hydraulic press is used to compact powdered samples. The device is made of two interconnected cylindrical chambers filled with oil if density psubscripto anc closed by two pistons. The small chamber on the right has diameter d and the large chamber on the left has diameter 5d. A lever is attached to the piston pushing down on the fluid in the small cylinder. The horizontal lever is hinged on the left, at distance L from the small piston, and a force of magnitude Fsubscript0 is applied vertically down at distance 2L from the hinge (Fig.5). You may assume that the lever and pistons have negligible mass. a. Determine the magnitude of the force Fin that the small piston exerts on the fluid in the small cylinder. Hint: you may consider that the lever is at rest in the horizontal position. b. Determine the pressure change applied to the fluid by the small piston. c. Determine the magnitude Fout of the force that the fluid applies to the large piston.

H.W: A hypodermic syringe contains a medicine with the density of water. The barrel of the syringe has a cross-sectional area (2.50x10-5) m2, and the needle has a cross-sectional area (1.00x10 8 ) m². In the absence of a force on the plunger, the pressure everywhere is 1.00 atm. A force F of magnitude 2.00 N acts on the plunger, making medicine squirt horizontally from the needle. Determine the speed of the medicine as it leaves the needles tip.
(a) As shown in Figure 2.1, an architect with an artistic flair designs a gate ABC to trap liquid of density pin a canal. The gate is hinged at A and is of unit width into the plane of the page. Section AB of the gate corresponds to a circular quadrant of radius R centred at O. Section BC of the gate is vertical with a height of 2R. The height of the liquid in the canal is R. Neglect the weight of the gate and friction in the hinge. Some geometric properties of a rectangle and a circular quadrant are provided in Figure 2.2, where the symbols have their usual meanings.
