A U-tube is filled with water, and the two arms are capped. The tube is cylindrical, and the right arm has twice the radius of the left arm. The caps have negligible mass, are watertight, and can freely slide up and down the tube. If a 1 kg mass block is on the left cap, how much total mass must be placed on the right cap so that the caps equilibrate at equal height?

A particular table has three identical legs, and the surface area at the bottom of each leg in contact with the floor is 4.00 x 10m?. Assume the legs are uniformly spaced around the table, and the mass of the table is uniformly distributed with respect to the legs. The total mass of the table is 32.7 kg. What is the pressure (in Pa) on the bottom of each table leg (due to the floor alone, ignoring atmospheric pressure)? Pa Need Help? Read it

While workers spray paint the ceiling of a room, numerous small paint aerosols are dispersed into the air. Eventually, these particles will settle out and fall to the floor or other surfaces. Consider small spherical paint particles of diameter D = 10 μm and specific gravity of 1.2. Determine the time it would take this particle to fall 2.4 m from near the ceiling to the floor. Assume that the air within the room is motionless.

Inside the wall of a house, an L-shaped section of hot-water pipe consists of three parts: a straight, horizontal piece h = 28.0 cm long, an elbow, and a straight vertical piece l = 152 cm long (figure below). A stud and a second-story floorboard hold the ends of this section of copper pipe stationary. Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow when the coordinate system with it's origin at the elbow, the +x-axis to the right in line with the horizontal water flow is turned on, raising the temperature of the pipe from 18.0°C to 43.6°C. (Assume pipe and the +y-axis going upward.) 0.6568 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation.
