For the hydraulic lift shown in Fig. 12.7, what must be the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force F1 is applied so that a 1520-kg car can be lifted with a force F1 of just 125 N?

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird鈥檚 average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?
Comparing Example 12.1 (Section 12.1) and Example 12.2 (Section 12.2), it seems that 700 N of air is exerting a downward force of on the floor. How is this possible?
