A dentist's chair with a patient in it weighs 2020 N. The output plunger of a hydraulic system begins to lift the chair, when the dentist's foot applies a force of 34.7 N to the input piston. Neglect any height difference between the plunger and the piston. What is the ratio of the radius of the plunger to the radius of the piston?

 A friend is trying to push you across a frozen, flat, level, puddle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber (the soles of your shoes) and ice is 0.15.  First determine your weight (hint: 2.2 lbs or 9.8 N is needed to lift 1 kg, so a 220 lbs person masses 100 kg and weighs 980 N).  Second determine the force of friction acting on your shoes.  Thirdly assuming the drag force is negligible (around zero) the only forces in the horizontal direction are the force of friction and the applied force of your friend pushing you, if your friend pushes you with 300 N [forward], then what is your is your acceleration?  Fourthly and lastly how long will it take you to reach a maximum speed of 5 m/s?

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.80g projectile. The spring is originally compressed by 8.00cm and has a force constant of 15.54 N/m. When the spring is released, the projectile slides 15.0cm through the barrel of the cannon where the barrel exerts a constant fictional force on the projectile. The projectile leaves the barrel of the cannon with a speed of 3.50m/s. The barrel of the cannon makes a 60 degree angle with respect to the horizontal surface. Neglect any air resistance or any rotational effects. Assume that the projectile's starting elevation is at ground level. What is the force of kinetic friction between the projectile and the barrel of the cannon? What is the maximum height of the projectile above ground level during its flight? How long does it take the projectile to reach its height?
