Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tracheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of the insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a tracheae is 1.83 mm long with a cross-sectional area of 1.47 x 10-9m2. The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.651 kg/m3, and the diffusion constant is 1.79 x 10-5 m2/s. If the mass per second of oxygen is diffusing through a trachea is 1.77 x 10-12 kg/s, then find the oxygen concentration at the interior end of the tube.

- Refer to Problem 16 and Figure P14.16. A hydrometer is to be constructed with a cylindrical floating rod. Nine fiduciary marks are to be placed along the rod to indicate densities of 0.98 g/cm3, 1.00 g/cm3, 1.02 g/cm3, 1.01 g/cm3, 1.14 g/cm3. The row of marks is to start 0.200 cm from the top end of the rod and end 1.80 cm from the top end. (a) What is the required length of the rod? (b) What must be its average density? (c) Should the marks be equally spaced? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe average human has a density of 945 kg/m3 after in haling and 1 020 kg/m3 after exhaling.

- 45. Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tra- cheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of an insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a trachea is 1.9 mm long with a cross-sectional area of 2.1 × 10-º m². The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.28 kg/m², and the diffusion constant is 1.1 × 10-5 m²/s. If the mass per second of oxygen diffusing through a trachea is 1.7 X 10-12 kg/s, find the oxygen concentra- tion at the interior end of the tube.arrow_forwardThe most dangerous particles in polluted air are those with diameters less than 2.5 μm because they can penetrate deeply into the lungs. A 15-cm-tall closed container holds a sample of polluted air containing many spherical particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm and a mass of 2.6 x 10-14 kg. How long does it take for all of the particles to settle to the bottom of the container?arrow_forwardTwo large tanks, each holding 100L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank A into tank B at a rate of 3L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1L/min. The liquid inside each tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.1kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of 6L/min. The (diluted) solution flows out of the system from tank A at 4L/min and from tank B at 2L/min. If initially, tank A contains pure water and tank B contains 10kg of salt, determine the mass of salt in each tank at time t≥0. What is the solution to the system? x(t)= y(t)=arrow_forward

(a) What is the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level?(b) If the diver breathes a gas mixture at a pressure of 2.00×106 N/m2 , what percent oxygen should it be to have the same oxygen partial pressure as at sea level?arrow_forward

(a) How long will the tank last at depths of 4.60 m? (b) How long will the air in the tank last at 13.7 m ?arrow_forwardMosses don’t spread by dispersing seeds; they disperse tiny spores. The spores are so small that they will stay aloft and move with the wind, but getting them to be windborne requires the moss to shoot the spores upward. Some species do this by using a spore-containing capsule that dries out and shrinks. The pressure of the air trapped inside the capsule increases. At a certain point, the capsule pops, and a stream of spores is ejected upward at 3.6 m/s, reaching an ultimate height of 20 cm.
