The drawing shows a cylinder fitted with a piston that has a mass m₁ of 0.850 kg and a radius of 2.50 x 10-2 m. The top of the piston is open to the atmosphere. The pressure beneath the piston is maintained at a reduced (but constant) value by means of the pump. As shown, a rope of negligible mass is attached to the piston and passes over two massless pulleys. The other end of the rope is attached to a block that has a mass of m₂ = 5.30 kg. The block falls from rest down through a distance of 1.42 m in 2.45 s. Ignoring friction, find the absolute pressure beneath the piston. Pump m1 1²₂

A stick of butter has dimensions 130 mm × 30 mm × 30 mm and density pt = 870 kg/m³. It is placed in a bowl of cool water and floats with its long side oriented horizontally. What volume of butter is submerged? (As always, drawing a force diagram is a great first step.) What is the smallest amount of mass m you must place on top so that the butter becomes fully submerged? Suppose that the stick is balanced very delicately so that it floats with its long side oriented vertically. How would this change your answers above?
The top of a vertical cylinder is sealed with a circular lid. If the cylinder is evacuated, what is the minimum force required to remove the lid from the top of the cylinder? The radius of the cylinder is 6.50 cm. Assume the surrounding air is at a pressure of 1 atm = 1.01 ✕ 105 Pa. Express your answer in units of newtons.
Water enters a pipe with a diameter of 2.0 cm at a speed of 15.0 m/s. At what velocity will it come out the other end if the pipe has narrowed to a diameter of 1.5 cm? If the narrow end of the pipe is 1.0 m above the wide end, and the water enters the pipe under a pressure of 5.0 atm, what would be the water pressure when exiting the narrow end?
We’ve discussed elevators that are raised with cables, but many elevators use pistons. A pump provides fluid at very high pressure to the piston; the resulting force on the piston raises the elevator and passengers. For a typical piston elevator, the mass of the elevator and passengers is 2000 kg and the radius of the piston is a surprisingly small 4.2 cm. The elevator begins to move upward, accelerating at 0.80 m/s2. What is the pressure in the piston?
A Volkswagen with mass m = 8.00 x 102kg is at rest as shown in the figure. Both pistons have a circular cross-sectional area. The small piston has a diameter of d1 = 0.25 m and the large piston has a diameter d2 = 4.5 m. Determine the magnitude of the forceexercised on the small piston.
A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.700 L/s, with an output pressure of 2.00 x 105 N/m². You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of this problem. (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00 cm inside diameter and rises 3.00 m above the pump. What is its pressure (in N/m²) at this point? N/m² (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 1.70 m in height, and widens to 4.00 cm diameter. What is the pressure now (in N/m²)? N/m²
The human brain and spinal cord are immersed in the cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid is normally continuous between the cranial and spinal cavities and exerts a pressure of 100 to 200 mm of H2O above the prevailing atmospheric pressure. In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed, as shown in Figure P9.83. If the fluid rises to a height of 160. mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160. mm H2O. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury. (b) Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may…

(b) Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the…
For its drinking water, a small cabin in the woods uses a sealed water tank. The tank is filled to a depth of 1.89 m and then a small air pump can be used to pressurize the pocket of air above the water. Water flows out from the bottom of the tank through a small hole. What is the speed of water when it exits the tank if the air is pressurized to a gauge pressure of 2.05 atm? Give your answer in units of m/s.
A uniform disk of mass 10.0 kg and radius of 0.248 m spins at 302 rev/min on a low-friction axle. It must be brought to a stop in 1.00 min by a brake pad that makes contact with the disk at an average distance of 0.218 m from the axis. The coefficient of friction between the pad and the disk is 0.499. A piston in a cylinder of diameter 5.00 cm presses the brake pad against the disk. Find the pressure required for the brake fluid in the cylinder. Pa Need Help? Read It
A 0.573 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger, and comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 7.07 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 2.79, what is the initial acceleration of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm.
A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Friction is absent. The spring constant of the spring is 3600 N/m. The piston has a negligible mass and a radius of 0.010 m. (a) When the air beneath the piston is completely pumped out, how much does the atmospheric pressure cause the spring to compress? (b) How much work does the atmospheric pressure do in compressing the spring? * I know that a is = 0.0088422743 m but b is NOT 8.950712099 J (wrong) please show work of how to work part b.
