Variation of pressure

From the equation of pressure, pressure is directly proportional to the applied force.

A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.700 L/s, with an output pressure of 2.00 x 105 N/m². You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of this problem. (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00 cm inside diameter and rises 3.00 m above the pump. What is its pressure (in N/m²) at this point? N/m² (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 1.70 m in height, and widens to 4.00 cm diameter. What is the pressure now (in N/m²)? N/m²
Balloon angioplasty is a technique to restore blood flow through coronary arteries that have been narrowed by the build-up of plaque. The surgeon threads a catheter into the coronary artery, then inflates a balloon that compresses the plaque against the wall of the artery. Suppose a diseased coronary artery has a diameter of 2.0 mm. To what diameter must it be expanded to increase the blood flow by a factor of 5.0 with no change in pressure?
A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 12.0 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 3.05 atm. Water flows out from the bottom through a small hole. Calculate the speed with which the water comes out of the tank. Express your answer in meters per second.

When you hold your hands at your sides, you may have noticed that the veins sometimes bulge—the height difference between your heart and your hands produces increased pressure in the veins. The same thing happens in the arteries. Estimate the distance that your hands are below your heart. If the average arterial pressure at your heart is a typical 100 mm Hg, what is the average arterial pressure in your hands when they are held at your side?

In an industrial cooling process, water is circulated through a system. If water is pumped with a speed of 5.20 m/s under a pressure of 5.00*10^5 Pa from the first floor through a 3.80-cm diameter pipe, what will be the pressure on the next floor 3.50 m above in a pipe with a diameter of 3.00 cm?
Fire hoses used in major structure fires have inside diameters of 6.4 cm. Suppose such a hose carries a flow of 40 L/s starting at a gauge pressure of 1.62 × 10°N/m². The hose goes 10 m up a ladder to a nozzle having an inside diameter of 3 cm. Assume negligible resistance, density of water is 1000 kg/m³, and atmospheric pressure = 1.013×105 Pa. Using the flow rate (a) Calculate the velocity at the start of the hose. V = start m/s (b) Calculate the velocity at the nozzle. V = nozzle m/s Pnozzle (c) Calculate the gauge pressure at the nozzle, P, If nozzle <3%, then enter P nozzle =0, else P atm |P nozzlel enter the calculated value. If atm <3%, then we are going to assume that the absolute pressure at the nozzle is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure, making the gauge pressure almost zero when compared to the atmospheric pressure.
