1) At any time, approximately 20 volcanoes are actively erupting on the Earth, and 50-70 volcanoes erupt each year. Over the past 100 years, an average of 850 people have died each year from volcano eruptions. As scientists and engineers study the mechanics of lava flow, accurately predicting the flow rate (velocity) of the lava is critical to saving lives after an eruption. Jeffrey's equation captures the relationship between flow rate and viscosity as: pgr sin(a) V = 3µ Flow where p is the density of the lava, g is gravity, t is the flow thickness, a is the slope, and u is the lava viscosity. Typical values are given as follows t = 28 cm 10 for the flow rate: u= 4x10' kg/(m.s) ±1% p= 2.5 g/cm +1% t= 28 cm +0.5 cm a= 10° +1 ° g= 9.81 m/s? Determine the likely maximum possible error in the calculated value of the flow rate.

An airplane passenger has a volume V1 of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume will this quantity of air have at cruising altitude at the same temprerature ( body temp. ), in terms of V1, the pressure on the ground P1, and the cabin pressure at cruising altitude P2? What is this volume, in cubic centimeters, if the initial volume is 110 cm^3 and the cabin pressure drops to 7.5x10^4 Pa when the plane is at cruising altitude?

The average speed of blood in the aorta is 0.327 m/s, and the radius of the aorta is 1.00 cm. There are about 2.00 × 109capillaries with an average radius of 6.23 μm. What is the approximate average speed of the blood flow in the capillaries? ___mm/s
Blood pressure is normally taken on the upper arm at the level of the heart. Suppose, however, that a patient has his arms in a cast, so you cannot take his blood pressure in the usual way. If you have him stand up and take the blood pressure at his calf, which is 87.5 cm below his heart, what would be the Ap = mmHg magnitude Ap of the difference between this measurement of blood pressure and a normal blood-pressure measurement? The density of blood is 1060 kg/m³. Is the blood pressure measured at the calf larger or smaller than the blood pressure measured at the upper arm? O larger smaller

A popular pool toy allows the user to push a plunger to compress water in a barrel with a diameter of 3.5 cm. The water is compressed with a speed of 1.9 m/s and emerges from a small opening with a speed of 12 m/s. What is the diameter (in mm) of the opening? Assume the toy is oriented horizontally. mm
Consider the following section of pipe. The velocity of water (Pwater h₁ m S V₁ = 2.9 h₁ = 3.2 m V₂ = 6.7 h₂ = 1.9 m m S Point 1 = 1000 kg ) and height are given for two different points in the pipe.

Humans evolved in Earth's atmosphere, therefore the pressures interior to the body are relatively close to atmospheric pressure. Because the differences between internal body pressures and atmospheric pressure are so small, individuals have a difficult time gauging the magnitude of atmospheric pressure. Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.00380 kg and is the standard letter size of 8.5 in by 11 in (0.216 m by 0.279 m), how many sheets must be stacked to produce pressure on his back equal to atmospheric pressure (roughly 101325 Pa)? sheets of paper required:
When a person inhales, air moves down the bronchus (windpipe) at 13.8 cm/s. The average flow speed of the air doubles through a constriction in the bronchus. Assuming incompressible flow, determine the pressure drop in the constriction. Neglect the change of pressure due to change in height ?y in the wind pipe. If the pressure goes down then the pressure drop is negative. Use 1.20 kg/m33 for the density of air.
