Q) A small air bubble with a diameter of 0.45 mm was found in a sample of blood plasma in a capillary tube as illustrated in the figure. Calculate the pressure inside the bubble when: 1) It lies directly below the surface of the blood plasma sample. 2) The blood plasma lies at a depth of (3.6 cm) in the sample. Note that the density of the plasma (g/ml is 1.025), the surface tension of the plasma (N/m 0.073) and the atmospheric pressure (P = 1,013 x 105 Pa) 1 P

An airplane is cruising al altitude 10 km. The pressure outside the craft is 0.287 atm; within the passenger compartment, the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 20C. A small leak occurs in one of the window seals in the passenger compartment. Model the air as an ideal fluid to estimate the speed of the airstream flowing through the leak.
Considering the magnitude of typical arterial blood pressures, why are mercury rather than water manometers used for these measurements?
A small artery has a length of 1.1103m and a radius of 2.55105m . If the pressure drop across the artery is 1.3 kPa, what is the flow rate through artery? (Assume Eat the temperature 37°C)
Figure 11.17 shows how a common measurement of arterial pressure is made. Is there any effect on the measured pressure if the manometer is Iowered? What is the effect of raising the arm above the shoulder? What is the effect of placing the cuff on the upper leg with me person standing? Explain your answers In terms of pressure created by the weight of a fluid. Figure 11.17 In routine blood pressure measurements, an inflatable cuff is placed on the upper arm at the same level as the heart. Blood now is detected just below the cuff, and corresponding pressures are transmitted to a mercury-filled manometer. (credit: LJ_S_ Army photo by Spc. Micah E.Clare\4TH BCT)
A glucose solution being administered with an IV has a flow rate of 4.00 cm3/min. What will the new flow rate be if the glucose is replaced by whole blood having the same density but a viscosity 2.50 times that of glucose? All other factors remain constant.
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.
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.
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
