Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 23P
While you’re waiting for the ribs to cook, you muse about the propane tank of your barbecue. You’re curious about the volume of propane versus the actual tank size. Find the liquid propane volume when full (the weight of the propane is specified on the tank). Compare this to the tank volume (take some measurements, and approximate the tank shape as a cylinder with a hemisphere on each end). Explain the discrepancy.

Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb = ? airgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 70 kg each Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of the number of people carried in the balloon on acceleration. Plot the acceleration against the number of people, and discuss the results Assume the density of air is ? =1.16kg/m3, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage
6. You are a researcher at a company that makes pressure cookers, and you are in charge of designing the plug weights for pressure cookers. If the operating pressure of the stopper weight of the pressure cooker is 100kPa as the gauge pressure and the cross-sectional area of the steam outlet is 5mm', what should the mass of the stopper weight be? In addition, Mexico City is said to be about 75 to 80% of the atmospheric pressure at sea level at 2200m above sea level. If a pressure cooker is exported to Mexico City, what should be the mass of the stopper? Assume that the standard atmospheric pressure in Korea is 80% of the standard atmospheric pressure in Mexico City. (However, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s")
A rubber balloon has a mass of 10 grams. The balloon is filled with air and forms a shape that may be approximated as a sphere with a diameter of 50 cm. What is the total mass of the balloon? What would be the total mass of the balloon if it is filled with helium instead? Express your answers in grams.

- The human brain and spinal cord are immersed in the cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid is normally continuous between the cranial and spinal cavities and exerts a pressure of 100 to 200 mm of H2O above the prevailing atmospheric pressure. In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed, as shown in the figure below. If the fluid rises to a height of 150 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 150 mm H2O. A patient lies sideways while a surgeon tries to insert a hollow tube into his spinal cord. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury.

At sufficient depths, the difference between the external and internal pressures can rupture an eardrum. Eardrums can rupture when the pressure difference is as little as 35 kPa.
