Joe bob has many beautiful salt water aquariums. One day he puts his hand into an aquarium and receives a painful shock. He realizes the heater has become damaged. There is a cut in the cord where it is under the water. Do you think the fish are ok? Why or why not?

The pulmonary artery, which connects the heart to the lungs, has an inner radius of 2.60 mm and a length of 8.40 cm. If the drop in pressure between the heart and the lungs is 4.0 hPa. a) What is the average speed of the blood in the pulmonary artery?
Pressure cookers use water at very high pressures to cook food very quickly. They have been around for more than 300 years, although their use has strongly declined in recent years (early models had a nasty habit of exploding). a. How much force, in newtons, must the latches holding the lid onto a pressure cooker be able to withstand if the circular lid is 27.5 cm in diameter and the gauge pressure inside is 0.95 atm? Neglect the weight of the lid.
Buoyancy In the buoyancy lab, you find that the buoyant force is equal to 2.50 N. Given that the density of water is 998 kg/m³, find the volume of the object in cm³. You may use g = 9.8 m/s² 256 m³ 2505 cm³ 256 cm³ 0.0256 cm³ 0.2505 cm³
The human brain and spinal cord are immersed in the cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid is normally continuous between the cranial and spinal cavities and exerts a pressure of 100 to 200 mm of H2O above the prevailing atmospheric 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, as shown in Figure P9.83. 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…
You fill a balloon with helium and let it go. It floats up into the air, where it is essentially floating in a pool of air. Why does the helium filled balloon float in air? Make sure you use the words ‘buoyancy’, ‘density’ and ‘volume of displaced ‘air’ in answering this question.
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. If the average arterial pressure at your heart is a typical 100 mm Hg, what is the average arterial pressure in your hands when they are held at your side?
