A Cuvier's Beaked Whale, weighing 5,500 pounds-force [lb f, holds the record for deepest ocean dive by a mammal. This whale reached a depth of 1.86 miles [mi], requiring it to stay submerged for more than three and a half hours [h. The whale can be modeled with a cross-sectional area of 8.4 square meters m. Assume the specific gravity of ocean water is 1.025.

An oil gusher shoots crude 25.0 m the through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting resistance but not resistance of the pipe, and assuming laminar flow, calculate pressure at be entrance of be 50.0-m-Iong vertical pipe. Take of the oil to be 900 kg/m3 and its viscosity to be 100(N/m2) s (or 1.00 Pa s). Note that you must take into account the pressure due to 50.0-m column of oil in pipe.
Referring to Figure 14.20, prove that the buoyant force on be cylinder is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced (Archimedes' principle). You may assume that be buoyant force is F2F1 and that the ends of be cylinder have equal areas A. Note Eat be volume of be cylinder (and that of be fluid displaces) equals (h2h1)A .

Fluid originally flows through a tube at a rate of 100 cm3/s. To illustrate the sensitivity of flow rate to various factors, calculate be new flow rate for following changes with all other factors remaining the same as in original conditions. (a) Pressure difference increases by a factor of 1.50. (b) A new fluid wit 3.00 times greater viscosity is substituted. (c) The tube is replaced by one having 4.00 times the length. (d) Another tube used with a 0.100 times the original. (e) Yet another tube is substituted with a radius 0.100 times the original and half length, and pressure difference is increased by factor of 1.50.
What must be the contact area between a suction cup (completely evacuated) and a ceiling if the cup is to support the weight of an 80.0-kg student?
The tip of a nail exerts tremendous pressure when hit by a hammer because it exerts a large force over a small area. What force must be exerted a nail a circular tip of 1.00-mm diameter to create a pressure of 3.00109 N/m2? (This pressure is possible because the hammer striking the nail is brought to rest in such a short distance.)
