Nail tips exert tremendous pressures when they are hit by hammers because they exert a large force over a small area. a. What force, in newtons, must be exerted on a nail with a circular tip of a diameter 1.25 mm to create a pressure of 3.1 × 109 N/m2? (This high pressure is possible because the hammer striking the nail is brought to rest in such a short distance.) b. How many people of mass 72 kg would have to stand on this nail to exert this force? Round to the nearest integer.
Q2. A "U" shaped tube (with a constant radius) is filled with water and oil as shown. The water is a height h1 = 0.400 m above the bottom of the tube on the left side of the tube and a height h2 = 0.250 m above the bottom of the tube on the right side of the tube. The oil is a height h3 = 0.300 m above the water. Around the tube the atmospheric pressure is PA = 1.00×105 Pa. Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³. Clearly show all work! a) What is the pressure in the water at the bottom of the tube? | b) What is the pressure in the water right at the oil-water interface? c) What is the density of the oil? h₁ 2

Blood pressure is measured when the blood is pumping (systolic) and when the heart is resting (diastolic). When pressure readings are given, the systolic is given first, and healthy blood pressure is around 120 over 80 mm Hg. Recall the density of mercury is 13.6 × 103 kg/m3. a. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg. What is your systolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared? b. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg. What is your diastolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared?
