A fish tank has dimensions 38 cmcm wide by 1.0 mm long by 0.50 mm high.If the filter should process all the water in the tank once every 3.0 hh, what should the flow speed be in the 3.0-cmcm-diameter input tube for the filter?
When a personsnorkels, the lungs are connecteddirectly to the atmosphere throughthe snorkel tube and thus are at atmosphericpressure. In atmospheres,what is the differencebetween this internal air pressureand the water pressure against thebody if the length of the snorkeltube is (a) 20 cm (standard situation) and (b) 4.0 m (probablylethal situation)? In the latter, the pressure difference causesblood vessels on the walls of the lungs to rupture, releasing bloodinto the lungs., an elephant can safelysnorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungs 4.0 m belowthe water surface because the membrane around its lungscontains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels,preventing rupturing.
