| 1 | \[ F_\text{output} = mg \] | Calculate the force due to the mass of the rock. Here, \( m = 55.2 \, \text{kg} \) and \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). |
| 2 | \[ F_\text{output} = 55.2 \times 9.81 \] | Substitute values to find the force on the output plunger. |
| 3 | \[ F_\text{output} = 541.212 \, \text{N} \] | The force exerted by the rock on the output plunger. |
| 4 | \[ \frac{F_\text{input}}{A_\text{input}} = \frac{F_\text{output}}{A_\text{output}} \] | Use Pascal’s principle, which states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in an enclosed static fluid. |
| 5 | \[ F_\text{input} = \frac{F_\text{output} \times A_\text{input}}{A_\text{output}} \] | Rearrange to solve for the input force needed for equilibrium. |
| 6 | \[ F_\text{input} = \frac{541.212 \times 15}{65} \] | Substitute the area values: \( A_\text{input} = 15 \, \text{cm}^2 \) and \( A_\text{output} = 65 \, \text{cm}^2 \). |
| 7 | \[ F_\text{input} = 124.843 \, \text{N} \] | Calculate the force exerted on the input piston necessary for equilibrium. |
| 8 | \[ 124.843 = k_s \Delta x \] | Relate the input force to the spring constant \( k_s = 1250 \, \text{N/m} \) and the compression \( \Delta x \). |
| 9 | \[ \Delta x = \frac{124.843}{1250} \] | Solve for the compression of the spring. |
| 10 | \[ \Delta x = 0.0999 \, \text{m} \] | Convert the compression to meters. |
| 11 | \[ \boxed{9.99 \, \text{cm}} \] | Convert to centimeters and box the final answer. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[ A_\text{input} \Delta y_\text{input} = A_\text{output} \Delta y_\text{output} \] | Use the principle of conservation of volume in the hydraulic system. |
| 2 | \[ 15 \times 22.0 = 65 \times \Delta y_\text{output} \] | Substitute \( \Delta y_\text{input} = 22.0 \, \text{cm} \) and the areas. |
| 3 | \[ 330 = 65 \times \Delta y_\text{output} \] | Calculate the product of the input area and the distance. |
| 4 | \[ \Delta y_\text{output} = \frac{330}{65} \] | Solve for the rise in the output plunger’s height. |
| 5 | \[ \Delta y_\text{output} = 5.077 \, \text{cm} \] | The final rise in the output plunger. |
| 6 | \[ \boxed{5.08 \, \text{cm}} \] | Box the final answer after rounding to two decimal places. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[ P = P_0 + \rho g h \] | The absolute pressure at a depth \( h \) is given by this equation, where \( P_0 \) is atmospheric pressure. |
| 2 | \[ P = 101325 + 1000 \times 9.81 \times 0.85 \] | Substitute \( P_0 = 101325 \, \text{Pa} \), \( \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \), \( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), and the height \( h = 0.85 \, \text{m} \). |
| 3 | \[ P = 101325 + 8338.5 \] | Calculate the pressure contribution from the water column. |
| 4 | \[ P = 109663.5 \, \text{Pa} \] | Calculate the total absolute pressure at the bottom of the chamber. |
| 5 | \[ \boxed{109664 \, \text{Pa}} \] | Box the final answer after rounding to the nearest Pascal. |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
Ben’s favorite ride at the Barrel-O-Fun Amusement Park is the Flying Umbrella, which is lifted by a hydraulic jack. The operator activates the ride by applying a force of \( 72 \) \( \text{N} \) to a \( 3.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) wide cylindrical piston, which holds the \( 20,000 \) \( \text{N} \) ride off the ground. What is the diameter of the piston that holds the ride?
A Venturi meter is a device used for measuring the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The drawing shows a gas flowing at a speed \( v_2 \) through a horizontal section of pipe with a cross-sectional area \( A_2 = 542 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). The gas has a density of \( 1.35 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of \( A_1 = 215 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections \( P_2 – P_1 = 145 \) \( \text{Pa} \).
A cube of unknown material and uniform density floats in a container of water with \(60\%\) of its volume submerged. If this same cube were placed in a container of oil with density \(800\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\), what portion of the cube’s volume would be submerged while floating?
Two objects labeled K and L have equal mass but densities \( 0.95D_o \) and \( D_o \), respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?
Diamond has a density of \( 3500 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). During a physics lab, a diamond drops out of Virginia’s necklace and falls into her graduated cylinder filled with \( 5.00 \times 10^{-5} \) \( \text{m}^3 \) of water. This causes the water level to rise to the \( 5.05 \times 10^{-5} \) \( \text{m}^3 \) mark. What is the mass of Virginia’s diamond?

Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.Â
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
