A square silicone chip 7 mm by 7 mm in size and 0.5 mm thick is mounted on a plastic substrate as shown in the sketch below. The top surface of the chip is cooled by a synthetic liquid flowing over it. Electronic circuits on the bottom of the chip generate heat at a rate of 5 watts that must be transferred through the chip. Estimate the steady state temperature difference between the front and back surfaces of the chip. The thermal conductivity of silicone is 150 W/(m K).

GIVEN
A 0.007 m by 0.007 m silicone chip
Thickness of the chip (L) = 0.5 mm = 0.0005 m
Heat generated at the back of the chip (Gq) = 5 W
The thermal conductivity of silicon (k) = 150 W/(m K)
FIND
The steady state temperature difference (?T)
ASSUMPTIONS
One dimensional conduction (edge effects are negligible)
The thermal conductivity is constant
The heat lost through the plastic substrate is negligible

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with incompressible oil with a density of 800 kg/m3 and capped at both ends with tight-fitting pistons

The wider arm of the U-tube has a radius of 18.0 cm and the narrower arm has a radius of 5.00 cm. The car rests on the piston on the wider arm of the U-tube. The pistons are initially at the same level. What is the force that must be applied to the smaller piston in order to lift the car after it has been raised 1.20 m? (For purposes of this problem, you can neglect the weight of the pistons.) A) 0.954 kN B) 1.88 kN C) 1.96 kN D) 3.67 kN E) 1.20 kN
