The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 62.4lb/ft3). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is s. (a) Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P required to tip the tank, and the smallest s that would allow tipping to take place. (b) If the force P = 200 lb initiates tipping, determine the depth of water in the tank.

If F1 = 390 N force is applied to the piston with d1 = 4 cm diameter, what is the magnitude of the force F2 that can be resisted by the piston with d2 = 10 cm diameter? Neglect the weights of the pistons.
You are trying to lift a car to change a tire using a hydraulic jack. You apply a force of 55 N to the input piston who's diameter is d1. As a result, the output piston, which has a diameter d2, applies a force to the car. The ratio d2/d1 has a value of 10.5. Ignore the height difference between the input piston and output piston and determine the force that the output piston applies to the car
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.
