A 75.0-kg floats in freshwater 3.00% of his volume above water when his are empty, and 5.00% of his volume above water when his lungs are full. Calculate the volume of air inhales—called his lung capacity—in liters. (b) Does lung volume seem reasonable?
The inside volume of a house is equivalent to that of a rectangular solid 13.0 m wide by 200 m long by 2.75 m high. The house is heated by a forced air gas heater. The main uptake air duct of heater is 0.300 m in diameter. What is the average speed of the duct if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 minutes?
An airplane is cruising at altitude 10 km. The pressure outside the craft is 0.287 atm; within the passenger compartment, the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 20C. A small leak occurs in one of the window seals in the passenger compartment. Model the air as an ideal fluid to estimate the speed of the airstream flowing through the leak.
Verify that work input equals work output for a hydraulic system assuming no losses due to fiction. Do this by showing that distance output force moves is reduced by the same factor output force is increased. Assume the volume of the fluid is constant. What effect would friction within the fluid and between components in the system have output force? How would this depend on whether or not fluid is moving?
A fire hose has an inside diameter of 6.40 cm. Suppose such a hose caries a flow of 40.0 L/s starting at a gauge pressure of 1.62106 N/m2. The hose goes 10.0 m up a ladder to a nozzle having an inside diameter of 3.00 cm. Calculate the Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose and nozzle to show that flow in each must be turbulent.
. A certain part of an aircraft engine has a volume of 1.3 Ft3, (a) Find the weight of the piece when it is made of iron. (b) If the same piece is made of aluminum, what is its weight? Determine how much weight is saved by using aluminum instead of iron.
(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.0 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.0 m?
Considering the magnitude of typical arterial blood pressures, why are mercury rather than water manometers used for these measurements?
A sump pump (used to drain water from be basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at rate of 0.750 L/S, with an output pressure of 3.00105N/m2 . (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00-cm inside diameter and rises 2.50 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point? (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.500 m in height and widens to 4.00 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses both parts of the problem.
Concrete is pumped from a cement mixer to the place it is being lad, instead of being carried wheelbarrows. The flow rate is 200 L/min through a 50.0-m-long, 8.00-cm-diameter hose, and he pressure it the pump is 8.00106 N/m2. (a) Calculate the resistance of the hose. (b) What is the viscosity of the concrete, assuming the flow is laminar? (c) How much power is being supplied, assuming the point of use is at the same level as the pump? You may neglect the power supplied to increase be concrete's velocity.
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
(a) Verify that work input equals work output for a hydraulic system assuming no losses to friction. Do this by showing that the distance the output force moves is reduced by the same factor that the output force is increased. Assume the volume of the fluid is constant. (b) What effect would friction within the fluid and between components in the system have on the output force? How would this depend on whether or not the fluid is moving?
