1) A fluid flows through a horizontal pipe with a cross-sectional area of 0.1 m2 at a speed of 4 m/s.
What is the flow rate of the fluid?
2) Calculate the pressure of water in a tanker at h=0.5m from the ground if the depth of the water is 2m.
(take density of water =1000kg/m3 and g=10m/s2)

3) Water stands 12 m deep in a storage tank whose top is open to the atmosphere. What is the absolute
pressure at the bottom of the tank? (atmospheric pressure=1.01×105Pa, g=9.8m/s2)
4) The weight of crown in air and in water is read 7.84 N and 6.84 N respectively. What is the density
of crown? Assume the density of water is 1.00×103 kg/m3
5) The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a radius of 0.25m. A car weighing 2 x 104 N sits on a rack
mounted on a large piston and lifts a weight of 6 x 104 N. Calculate the approximate area of the
large piston.
6) The small piston of a hydraulic lift has an area of 0.20 𝑚2. A car weighing 1.2 × 104𝑁 sits on a rack
mounted on a large piston. The large piston has an area of 0.90 𝑚2. How much force must be applied
to the small piston to support the car?

7) A circular steel wire 2m long must stretch no more than 0.25 cm when a tensile force of 400 N is
applied to each end of the wire. What minimum diameter is required for the wire? (Young's modulus
of steel, Y=2×1011Pa).

find that its weight is 29.4 N. You carefully add 104 J of heat energy to the sample and find that its

the temperature of hot water is 85°C, calculate the initial temperature of cold water? (specific heat of
water=4.2J/g.°C)
