A Spring Gun. A hydraulic press is used to compress a spring that will then be used to project a 29.0-kg steel ball. The system is similar, but smaller in scale, to the car jack illustrated in Figure 11.14. In this case, the smaller cylinder has a diameter of d₁ = 0.85 cm and has a manually operated plunger. The larger cylinder has a diameter of d2 = 9.0 cm, and its piston compresses the spring. The idea is that the gun operator pulls a lever that pushes the plunger on the small cylinder, which transmits a pressure to the larger piston that, in turn, exerts a force on the spring and compresses it. Once the spring is compressed, the steel ball is loaded and the spring is released, ejecting the ball. (a) If a force of 1000 N is exerted on the primary (smaller) piston to compress the spring 1.30 m from its equilibrium (uncompressed) position, what is the spring constant k of the spring? (b) What is the velocity of the steel ball just after it is ejected? (c) Neglecting air resistance, what is the maximum range of this "spring gun"?

Review. In a water pistol, a piston drives water through a large tube of area A1 into a smaller tube of area A2 as shown in Figure P14.46. The radius of the large tube is 1.00 cm and that of the small tube is 1.00 mm. The smaller tube is 3.00 cm above the larger tube. (a) If the pistol is fired horizontally at a height of 1.50 m, determine the time interval required for the water to travel from the nozzle to the ground. Neglect air resistance and assume atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm. (b) If the desired range of the stream is 8.00 m, with what speed v2 must the stream leave the nozzle? (c) At what speed v1 must the plunger be moved to achieve the desired range? (d) What is the pressure at the nozzle? (e) Find the pressure needed in the larger tube. (f) Calculate the force that must be exerted on the trigger to achieve the desired range. (The force that must be exerted is due to pressure over and above atmospheric pressure.) Figure P14.46

Figure P9.27 shows the essential parts of a hydraulic brake system. The area of the piston in the master cylinder is 1.8 cm2 and that of the piston in the brake cylinder is 6.4 cm2. The coefficient of friction between shoe and wheel drum is 0.50. If the wheel has a radius of 34 cm, determine the frictional torque about the axle when a force of 44 N is exerted on the brake pedal.
