| The aorta carries blood away from the heart at a speed of about 40 cm/s and has a radius of approximately 1.1 cm. The aorta branches eventually into a large number of tiny capillaries that distribute the blood to the various body organs. In a capillary, the blood speed is approximately 0.07 cm/s, and the radius is about 6 × 10-ª cm. *59. Treat the blood as an incompressible fluid, and use these data to deter- mine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body.

You come across an open container that is filled with two liquids. The two liquids have different densities, so there is a distinct separation between them. Water, which has a density of pw = 1.00 × 103 kg/m³, fills the lower portion of the container to a depth of 0.209 m. The fluid that is floating on top of the water is 0.300 m deep. The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s² and atmospheric pressure is Po = 1.013 × 105 Pa. If the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is 1.049 × 105 Pa, what is the density p₁ of the unknown liquid? P₁ = kg/m³
