1.

A 5 kg board is arranged between 2 sawhorses (at right). If the board is in static equilibrium, what is the normal force on the board from sawhorse 2.

a. F2,normal = 0 N
b. F2,normal = 49.0 N
c. F2,normal = 36.8 N
d. F2,normal = 76.3 N
e. none of the above

2. This question refers to the same picture in question 1.

What is the normal force from sawhorse 1?

a. F1,normal = 0 N
b. F1,normal =12.3 N
c. F1,normal = 25 N
d. F1,normal = 50 N
e. None of the above

3.

For the pipe shown at right. If A1= 4A2, then…

Question is referring to this picture:

a. v1=4v2
b. v1=¼v2
c. v1=¾v2
d. Not enough information

4.

When a person is holding a heavy object directly in front of them, they tend to lean back. Why?

a. It maintains a net force of zero
b. It maintains a net torque of zero

5.

Mechanic Bob has a hydraulic jack (as shown) that applies a maximum input force of Fin =4N. If the output piston is 3 times the area of the input piston (Aout=3Ain), what is the maximum weight Bob’s jack can lift?

Question refers to this picture:

a. 0 N
b. 1.33 N
c. 4 N
d. 12 N
e. None of the above

6.

(For the pipe at right) Water is flowing through the pipe’s left side with velocity v1=5 m/s and height y1=0 m and flowing out the right side with velocity v2=5 m/s at a height y2=2 m. What is the ΔP? (difference in pressure)

Question refers to this picture:

a. 0 kPa
b. 9.8 kPa
c. 12.5 kPa
d. 19.6 kPa

Thanks.

I tried doing the problems but I can't seem to get anywhere.

How did you approach the first one? Where did you get stuck? Start with, what are the conditions for a body to stay in static equilibrium...

It's hard for me to understand the problem. I can't speak/read english very good.
