Aledge on a building is 18 m above the ground. a taut rope attached to a 4.0-kg can of paint sitting on the ledge passes up over a pulley and straight down to a 3.0-kg can of nails on the ground. if the can of paint is accidently knocked off the ledge, what time interval does a carpenter have to catch the can before it smashes on the floor?

Avertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of d = 1 mm and is used to measure pressure in a horizontal pipe carrying water as shown. due to pressure in the pipe, the water at 20c rises into the tube to a height h. if the water pressure in the pipe is p = 500 pa gauge, estimate the height h: (a) without considering surface tension (b) with surface tension (capillary) effects. the contact angle  can be assumed at 30 deg
