Birds such as ducks, geese, and swans have greater densities than water, yet they are able to sit on its surface. Explain this ability, noting that water does not wet their feathers and that they cannot sit on soapy water.
One way to force air into an unconscious person's lungs is to squeeze on a balloon appropriately connected to the subject. What force must you exert on the balloon with your hands to create a gauge pressure of 4.00 cm water, assuming you squeeze on an effective area of 50.0 cm2?
Construct Your Own Problem Consider a coronary artery constricted by arteriosclerosis. Construct a problem in which you calculate the amount by which the diameter of the artery is decreased, based on an assessment of the decrease in flow rate.
. A dentist's chair with a person in it weighs 1900 N. The output plunger of a hydraulic system starts Do lift the chair when the dental assistant's foot exerts a force of 45 N on the input piston. Neglecting any difference in the heights of the piston and the plunger, what is the ratio of the area of the plunger to the area of the piston?
Two thin-walled drinking glasses having equal base areas bin different shapes, with very different cross-sectional areas above the base, are filled to the same level with water. According to the expression P = P0 + gh, the pressure is the same at the bottom of both glasses. In view of this equality, why does one weigh more than the other?
You can break a strong wine bottle by pounding a cork into it with your fist, but the cork must press directly against the liquid filling the bottle—there can be no air between the cork and liquid. Explain why the bottle breaks, and why it will not if there is air the cork and liquid.
Heroes in movies hide beneath water and breathe through a hollow reed (villains never catch on to this trick). In practice, you cannot inhale in this manner if your lungs are more than 60.0 cm below the surface. What is the maximum negative gauge pressure you can create in your lungs on dry land, assuming you can achieve -3.00 cm water pressure with your lungs 60.0 cm below the surface?
Calculate the ratio of the heights to which water and mercury are raised by capillary action in the same glass tube.
Explain why the viscosity of a liquid decreases with temperature, that is, how might an increase in temperature reduce the effects of cohesive forces in a liquid? Also explain why the viscosity of a gas increases with temperature, that is, how does increased gas temperature create more collisions between atoms and molecules?
Many entrainment devices have a constriction, called a Venturi, such as shown in Figure 12.24. How does this bolster entrainment? Figure 12.24 A tube with a narrow segment designed to enhance entrainment is called a Venturi. These are very commonly used in carburetors and aspirators.
The alveoli in emphysema victims are damaged and effectively form larger sacs. Construct a problem in which you calculate the loss of pressure due to surface tension in the alveoli because of their larger average diameters. (Part of the lung's ability to expel air results from pressure created by surface tension in the alveoli.) Among the things to consider are the normal surface tension of the fluid lining the alveoli, the average alveolar radius in normal individuals and its average in emphysema sufferers.
The human circulation system has approximately 1109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8 m. Assuming cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average velocity of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
