The maximum depth, dmax that a diver can snorkel is set by the density of the water and the fact that human lungs can function against a maximum pressure difference (between inside and outside the chest cavity) of 0.050 atm. What is the difference in dmax for fresh water and the water of the Dead Sea (the saltiest natural water in the world, with the density of 1.5 x 10 kg/m³)?

(b) Explain why be blood pressure of an infant would likely be smaller than that of an adult. Specifically, consider the smaller height to which blood mast be pumped.
When physicians diagnose arterial blockages, they quote reduction flow rate. If the flow rate an artery has been reduced to 10.0% of its normal value by a blood clot and be average pressure difference has increased by 20.0%, by what factor has the clot reduced the radius of the artery?
Do fluids exert buoyant forces in a “weightless" environment, such as in the space shuttle? Explain your answer.
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.
A spherical particle falling at a terminal speed in a liquid must have the gravitational force balanced by the drag force the buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid, while drag force assumed to be given by Stokes Law, Fs=6rv . Show that the terminal speed is given by v=2R2g9(s1) , where R is be radius of sphere, s is its ad 1 is of be fluid, and the coefficient of viscosity.
