Answer to Problem 75GP
The height of the water is found to be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The decreased amount of pressures is,
Formula used:
The pressure difference is,
Where,
g is the acceleration gravity,
and
Calculation:
The pressure change in column of water is the is the pressure difference due to the lungs. So, the height is given as,
Conclusion:
The height of the water is found to be
