An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air. ▼ Part A Consider a 3.9 kg freshwater fish whose tissues have an average density of 1050 kg/m³. To what volume in mL must the swim bladder be inflated for the fish to be neutrally buoyant at the surface? Express your answer in milliliters to two significant figures.

A 0.527 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.56 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.35, what is the initial acceleration ? of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atmand that the top of the tube is open to the air.

Tire gauges for air pressure, as well as most other gauges used in an industrial environment take into account the pressure due to the atmosphere of earth. That's why your car gauge reads 0 before you put it on your tire to check your pressure. That is called gauge pressure. The real pressure within a tire or other object contains pressurized stuff would be a combination of what the gauge reads as well at the atmospheric pressure. If a gauge on a tire reads 40.16 psi, what is the real pressure in the tire in pascals. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01x10^5 Pa.
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.
