A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with oil and capped at both ends with tight-fitting pistons. The wider arm of the U-tube has a radius of 18.0 cm and the narrower arm has a radius of 5.00 cm. The car rests on the piston on the wider arm of the U-tube. The pistons are initially at the same level. What is the initial force that must be applied to the smaller piston in order to start lifting the car? For purposes of this problem, neglect the weight of the pistons.

A large cylindrical water tank 11.5 m in diameter and 13.5 m tall is supported with its base 8.75 m above the ground by a stand as shown in the figure. The water level in the tank is 10.6 m deep, and the density of the water in the tank is 1.00 g/cm3. A very small hole is formed at the base of the vertical wall of the tank, and water is squirting out of this hole horizontally. When this water hits the ground, how far has it traveled horizontally from the hole, assuming no air resistance?
