Problem

Suppose we have two connected syringes A and B of cylindrical shape:

[image loading]


Syringe A is given to a little girl and syringe B is given to a guy.

Assume both syringes can hold the same volume V, the uncompressible liquid between them is also V, and the radius of syringe B is equal to twice the radius of syringe A.

Question 1

If the little girl presses her syringe with a force of F, how strong does the guy have to press his syringe to stop her?

Question 2

Repeat problem 1 assuming the liquid is air at STP.

Question 3

In question 2, how much does the air compress?

+ Show Spoiler [answers] +
Solution 1

FB = 4 * FA

Where FB is the force applied by the guy and FA is the force applied by the little girl.

I haven't had physics, so here are my guesses.
1: 1/4 F?????
2: No idea what STP is
3: Doesn't that depend on air composition/temp and the amount of force? Or is that taken care of by STP?

STP is "standard temperature and pressure". Isn't this just basic high school physics homework?

Not homework, just erecting a series of math/compsci blogs that get harder over time. That is, if you guys don't pull out.

But try to solve them. That will improve your shots at getting hotter jobs that don't blow so bad.

Edit: Posted the answer to the first problem.

The guy has more surface area with which to apply the same force. He wins.

What about long and thick?

actually, the guy has to apply more force, as evidenced by the answer OP posted lol

pressure = force per unit area, so to have equal amount of pressure applied, the guy has to apply four times the force the girl does...
