1. A hydraulic jack has the dimensions shown. If one exerts a force F1 of 100 N on the handle of the jack,
what load, F2, can the jack support? Neglect lifter weight

2. Water flows through a pipe with a velocity of 10 m/s. Determine the velocity head of the water.

3. A cylindrical pipe with water flowing downward at 0.02 m3/s having top diameter of 0.08 m, bottom diameter
of 0.04 m, and height of 1.5 m. Find the pressure between the pipe.

4. A balloon having mass of 400 kg remains motionless in the air. If the air density is 1.29 kg/m3, what is the
volume of the balloon in m3?

5. A barrel contains a 0.150 m layer of oil floating on water that is 0.3 m deep. If the density of the oil is 600
kg/m3, what is the pressure (absolute) at the oil-water interface?
