An automobile weighing 1.19 x 104 N has weight equally distributed over its wheels. The weight of the car causes each tire to be slightly flattened on the bottom so that there is a surface area in contact with the road. The gauge pressure of the air in the tire is 1.90 x 105 Pa (27.55 lb/in2). Find the area of contact, assuming that the only forces on the section of tire in contact with the road are the air pressure and the normal force exerted by the surface of the road.
The bottom of a rectangular swimming pool is 16 m x 18 m. If the atmospheric pressure above the swimming pool changes from 739 to 757 mm of mercury, determine the amount by which the force on the bottom of the pool increases? (Assume the density of mercury is 13.6 x 103 kg/m3.)
A manometer containing water with one end connected to a container of gas has a column height difference of h = 0.27 m (see figure below). If the atmospheric pressure on the right column is 1.01 ✕ 105 Pa, find the absolute pressure of the gas in the container. The density of water is 1.0 ✕ 103 kg/m3. Pa
A 1.9 m length of horizontal pipe has a diameter of 1.58 x 10-2 m. Water flows with a volume flow rate of 10.2 x 10-3 m3/s out of the right end of the pipe and into the air. Calculate the change in pressure of the pipe (in Pa)? A viscous fluid (η = 103 x 10-5 Pa.
Suppose you measure a standing person’s blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.525 m below the heart. For this problem, assume that there is no loss of pressure due to resistance in the circulatory system (a reasonable assumption, since major arteries are large). The density of blood is 1.05×103 kg/m3 a. Calculate the systolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hgmm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the top (and greater) number is the systolic pressure. b. Calculate the diastolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hgmm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the bottom (smaller) number is the diastolic 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. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury. (b) Sometimes it is necessary to determine whether an accident victim has suffered a crushed vertebra that is blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the spinal column. In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the…
