Question

1st picture: Piston A has a cross sectional area of 1400 mm2 While that of piston B is 1000 mm2. B is higher than A by 2m. If the intervening passages are filled with oil whose specific gravity is 0.80 and a force of 4kN is acting on B. What must be the pressure at Piston B? Neglect the weight of the pistons.

An open cylindrical tank of having a diameter of 4ft
and a height of 6ft is submerged in water. What is the
force on the inside top of the tank if the top is 10ft
below the water surface?
Patm = 2116.22 lb/ft2
Do not write the unit. You will only input the
numerical answer in the space provided.
Unit of the Correct Answer: Ib
