Johnny the auto mechanic is raising a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) car on her hydraulic lift so that she can work underneath. If the area of the input piston is \( 12 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \), while the output piston has an area of \( 700 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \), what force must be exerted on the input piston to lift the car?

A horizontal tube with two vertical T-branches (A and B) is partially submerged in a liquid, with the open ends of the branches exposed to the air. However, the section of the tube above point B is hidden from view and may either be wider or narrower than the section above A.

Air is blown through the horizontal tube, causing the liquid levels in the vertical branches to rise as shown. Based on the observed water levels, which of the following best describes the characteristics of the hidden section of the tube above B?

A ski lift carries skiers along a 695 meter slope inclined at 34°. To lift a single rider, it is necessary to move 72 kg of mass to the top of the lift. Under maximum load conditions, five riders per minute arrive at the top. If 65 percent of the energy supplied by the motor goes to overcoming friction, what average power must the motor supply?
