Question
Help with the following question, please show all the requires steps to solve this problem.
![A student goes to the laboratory supply room and obtains six feet of clear plastic tubing with an outer diameter of 12 mm and a wall
thickness of 1/16 inch. She bends the tube into a U shape with the open ends pointing up and uses a funnel to pour 70 mL of water into
the tube. By blowing air into one end of the tube, she generates a 9.00-cm difference in the water levels on each side.
Pressure Exerted
Check unit conversions and significant figures.
What was the pressure (psi) she exerted with her lungs on the water in the tube? Consider all assumptions explicitly.
