As the initially empty urinary bladder fills with urine and expands, its internal pressure increases by 3300 Pa, which triggers the micturition reflex (the feeling of the need to urinate). The figure shows a horizontal, square section of the bladder wall with an edge length of 0.010 m. Because the bladder is stretched, four tension forces of equal magnitude T act on the square section, one at each edge, and each force is directed at an angle & below the horizontal. What is the magnitude T of the tension force acting on one edge of the section when the uinternal bladder pressure is 3300 Pa and each of the four tension forces is directed 3.2° below the horizontal?

The owner of a company that manufactures drinking cups decides it would be impressive to build an inground swimming pool that is a scaled up version of her best selling cup. For this particular cup, the area of the circular opening at the top is 1.24 times the area of the circular bottom. Her pool contractor informs her that when the pool is full of water, the magnitude of the force acting on the top surface will be the same as the magnitude of the force acting on the bottom surface. Determine the depth of the pool. m
