P14.8 The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional area of 3.00 cm2
and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of
200 cm2 (Figure 14.4). What force must be applied to the small piston for the lift
to raise a load of 15.0 kN? (In service stations, this force is usually exerted by
compressed air.)
P14.22 A piece of aluminum with mass 1.00 kg and density 2 700 kg/m3 is
suspended from a string and then completely immersed in a container of water
(Figure P14.25). Calculate the tension in the string (a) before and (b) after the
metal is immersed.

P14.27 A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20.0 cm and a density of

650 kg/m3 floats on water. (a) What is the distance from the horizontal top
surface of the cube to the water level? (b) How much lead weight has to be
placed on top of the cube so that its top is just level with the water?
P14.35 A large storage tank, open at the top and filled with water, develops a
small hole in its side at a point 16.0 m below the water level. If the rate of flow
from the leak is
2.50 103 m3/min, determine (a) the speed at which the water leaves the hole
and (b) the diameter of the hole.
P14.36 A village maintains a large tank with an open top, containing water for
emergencies. The water can drain from the tank through a hose of diameter 6.60
2

cm. The hose ends with a nozzle of diameter 2.20 cm. A rubber stopper is
inserted into the nozzle. The water level in the tank is kept 7.50 m above the
nozzle. (a) Calculate the friction force exerted on the stopper by the nozzle. (b)
The stopper is removed. What mass of water flows from the nozzle in 2.00 h? (c)
Calculate the gauge pressure of the flowing water in the hose just behind the
nozzle.
