12. Why is the following situation impossible? Figure P14.12 shows Superman attempting to drink cold water through a straw of length e = 12.0 m. The walls of the tubular straw are very strong and do not collapse. With his great strength, he achieves maximum possible suction and enjoys drinking the cold water. Figure P14.12

Problem 3: A person walks around in high-heeled shoes. Their weight is momentarily placed on one heel which has an area of 1.5 cm². If their mass is 60 kg, what is the pressure exerted by their heel on the floor in pascals?
A block of wood with dimensions 60.0 cm × 40.0 cm × 8.0 cm floats on water with 75% of its volume below the surface of the water. While floating on water, how much mass can be placed on top of the block before it is completely submerged? The density of water is 1000 kg·m−3
On another planet that you are exploring, a large tank is open to the atmosphere and contains ethanol. A horizontal pipe of cross-sectional area 7.0×10−4m27.0×10−4m2 has one end inserted into the tank just above the bottom of the tank. The other end of the pipe is open to the atmosphere. The viscosity of the ethanol can be neglected. You measure the volume flow rate of the ethanol from the tank as a function of the depth hh of the ethanol in the tank. If you graph the volume flow rate squared as a function of hh, your data lie close to a straight line that has slope 2.09×10−5m5/s22.09×10−5m5/s2. What is the value of gg, the acceleration of a free-falling object at the surface of the planet? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A garden hose having with an internal diameter of 1.7 cm is connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of an container with 23 holes, each 0.20 cm in diameter. If the water in the hose has a speed of 0.93 m/s, at what speed does it leave the sprinkler holes? m/s
In most species of clingfish (family Gobiesocidae), pelvic and pectoral fins converge to form a suction cup edged by hairy structures that allow a good seal even on rough surfaces. Experiments have shown that a clingfish’s suction cup can support up to 230 times the fish’s body weight. Suppose a 30.0-g northern clingfish has a suction cup disk area of 15.0 cm2 and the ambient water pressure is 1.10 x 105 Pa. What ratio Pcup/Pambient of the pressure inside the suction cup to the ambient pressure allows the fish to support 230 times its body weight?
