A schematic of a homemade hydraulic jack is shown in the figure below, with cylindrical tube ends of different radii, r, = 0.0600 m and r = 0.300 m, respectively. di (a) If a downward force of F, = 12.0 N is applied to the end with the smaller radius, how much force F, would the jack exert on a car if it were sitting above the other end? (Enter the magnitude.) N (b) If the smaller piston is pushed down a distance d, = 0.208 m, through what distance d, would the other end move? m

A fluid flows through a horizontal pipe that widens, making a 45 angle with the y axis (Fig. P15.48). The thin part of the pipe has radius R, and the fluids speed in the thin part of the pipe is v0. The origin of the coordinate system is at the point where the pipe begins to widen. The pipes cross section is circular. a. Find an expression for the speed v(x) of the fluid as a function of position for x 0 b. Plot your result: v(x) versus x. FIGURE P15.48 (a) The continuity equation (Eq. 15.21) relates the cross-sectional area to the speed of the fluid traveling through the pipe. A0v0 = A(x)v(x) v(x)=A0v0A(x) The cross sectional area is the area of a circle whose radius is y(x). The widening pan of the pipe is a straight line with slope of 1 and intercept y(0) = R. y(x) = mx + b = x + R A(x) = [y(x)]2 = (x + R)2 Plug this into the formula for the velocity. Plug this into the formula for the velocity. v(x)=A0v0(x+R)2
