Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 6200 cubic centimeters per min at the same time that water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The tank has height 15 meters and the diameter at the top is 4.5 meters. If the water level is rising at a rate of 22 centimeters per minute when the height of the water is 4.5 meters, find the rate at which water is being pumped into the tank in cubic centimeters per minute. cm³ min
You drill a small hole of area 0.0027 m2 near ground level on the side of a 33.1 m high, very large water tower reservoir. How many cubic meters of water per second flows out of the hole? (Assume there is no viscosity).
1. What is the smallest number of whole logs (density used to build a raft that will carry 6 people, each of whom has a mass of 77.0 kg? = 725 kg/m3, radius = 0.079 m, length 3.21 m) that can be kpi
A company has several sensors in storage silos to detect the total pressure in the silos to ensure the tanks will not leak. Each tank is designed to withstand a maximum total pressure of 5.7 atmospheres [atm]. An engineer wants to use one of the silos to store liquid nitric acid, which has a density of 97 pound-mass per cubic foot [lbm/ft3]. If the tank is filled to a depth of 90 feet [ft], how much surface pressure in units of atmospheres [atm] can be applied to the top of the liquid inside the tank without exceeding the maximum total pressure of the silo?
5. A pressure gauge submerged in sea displays 1,4 MPa of absolute pressure. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m³. At what depth is the pressure gauge situated? Atmospheric pressure is 101,325 kPa. Round off the answer to an integer in m, but enter the answer without the unit.

The plunger of the hydraulic lift in a gasoline service station has a diameter of 1 inch. It is operated by a compressed air (density = 63 kg/m3) from the tank in which the pressure is 9.315 x 105 pascals. The output piston and the rack on which the car rests are 2 feet lower than the input plunger and together weigh 1,336.33 newtons. What is the weight of the heaviest car that can be lifted if the output piston has a diameter of 1 foot? Assume 80% efficiency of the machine.
