The figure shows a schematic for a hydraulic jack. Lever AC is hinged at A. The upper valve at D is closed; the lower valve at D is open. The density of hydraulic ‡uid is 833 kg/m3. Make an estimate for the force required at C to hold the system in equilibrium. You may assume the lever is approximately horizontal, and you may neglect the weight of the platform on which the car is sitting. Be sure to include the assumptions you must make in order to obtain this estimate.
Problem 1:
The surface of the inclined plane is smooth (no friction). The inclination is 0, with sin0 = h/L,
where h is the height of the right end, and L is length of the plane. A box called G (note this
is not the weight) is lying on the surface with a pulley system shown in the figure. The mass of
the box is m. The box is in equilibrium.
(1) Plot the free body diagram for the box G

The tower is secured in the upright position by a pair of 0.25 inch diameter cables, each attached to an anchorage, as shown. The cable has a working load limit of 1200 lb (working load means it is the permitted load and includes a factor of safety relative to the cable's likely actual strength). The cables are initially tensioned by equal amounts. The thrust force from the turbine's operation is balanced by an increase in the tension in the front cable and an equal decrease in the rear cable. The rightward deflection of the tower due to the thrust force causes an elongation of the front cable that is equal to the shortening of the rear cable, which is why the magnitudes of the tension changes are equal. The pre-tension in the cables must be chosen so that neither side goes slack nor does the maximum tension exceed the load limit. Assume a steady thrust…arrow_forwardConsider a 14.5 kg rectangular block of length 0.40 m attached to a spring with a spring constant of 30.5 N/m.
