1. A person contains 8.0 L of blood. Blood is composed of 55% plasma and 45% blood cells by volume. The density of blood plasma is approximately 1025 kg/m and the density of blood cells circulating in the blood is approximately 1125 kg/m. Determine the mass of the plasma and the blood cells in 8.0L of human blood. (Hint: 1 L = 0.001 m)

(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.0 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.0 m?
Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.
What is the average flow rate in cm3/S of gasoline to the engine of a car traveling at 100 km/h if it averages 10.0 km/L?
A small artery has a length of 1.1103 m and a radius of 2.5105 m. If the pressure drop across the artery is 1.3 kPa, what is the flow rate through the artery? (Assume that the temperature is 37° C.)
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
1. A cargo ship of mass 80000 metric tonnes is floating in the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so we can assume a density of 1000kg/m3. What is the volume of water displaced by this cargo ship? If the volume of the cargo ship is 4.00×105 m3, what percentage of the ship's volume is below water? 2. A wooden block of mass 20 kg is floating in a pool. This is a fresh water pool, so we can assume a density of 1000kg/m3. What is the volume of water displaced by this wooden block? If the volume of the block is 104 liters, what is the density of the block in kilograms per liter? What is the density of the block in kilograms per cubic meter? What percentage of the block is submerged?
If 50.00 mL of blood has a mass of 52.00 grams, what is its density? (Be sure to include units in your answer!). Is blood more or less dense than water? Since blood is mostly water, what components of blood do you think make it have a different density than water?
The density of two liquids (A and B) is given as 180 kg/m3 and 70 kg/m3, respectively. The two liquids are mixed in a certain proportion and the density of the resulting liquid is 110 kg/m3. How much of liquid B (in grams) does 2 kg of the mixture contain? Assume the volume of the two liquids is additive when mixed. I have tried multiple ways to get to the ansser but I still get stuck in the very last part
1) A full bucket that holds 2.86 liters of water is leaking at a rate of 3.65 mL per hour. How long will it take (in hours) for the bucket to be empty?
A person drinks a glass of 250 cm3 every morning milk after 15 days, how much mass of milk will he have drunk? (The density of milk is 1,030 kg/m3).
An empty graduated cylinder weighs 26.80 ± 0.01 g. The mass of the graduated cylinder with 10.0 + -1.1 ml of liquid in it is 34.07 + 0.01g. What is the mass of the liquid? 4. If a graduated cylinder weighs 28.54 + 0.01 g, and if the graduated cylinder containing 9.0 ± 0.1 mL of a liquid weighs 36.19 + 0.01 g, what is the density of the liquid? 5. A student determines that an unknown liquid has a density of 0.78 g/ml., a boiling point of 63.0+ 0.1°C, and it is soluble in water and in ethyl alcohol.
