- During forced exhalation, such as when blowing up a balloon, the diaphragm and chest muscles create a pressure of 60.0 mm Hg between the lungs and chest wall. What force in newtons does this pressure create on the 600 cm2 surface area of the diaphragm?arrow_forwardThe density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 at sea level. From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero. (In reality, the density of the atmosphere decreases as we go up.) (This question is courtesy or Edward F. Redish. For more questions of this type, see http://www.physics.umd.edu/perg/.)arrow_forward. The volume of the Drop Tower "Bremen" (a 100-meter-tall tube used to study processes during free fall) is l,700 m3. (a) What is the mass of the air that must he removed from it to reduce the pressure inside to nearly zero (1 Pa compared to 100,000 Pa)? (b) What is the weight of the air in pounds?arrow_forward
- (a) Calculate the retarding force due to the viscosity of the air layer between a cart and a level air track given the following information—air temperature is 20° C, the cart is moving at 0.400 m/s, its surface area is 2.50102 m2, and the thickness of the air layer is 6.00105 m. (b) What is the ratio of this force to the weight of the 0.300-kg cart?arrow_forwardYou are working as an expert witness for the owner of a skyscraper complex in a downtown area. The owner is being sued by pedestrians on the streets below his buildings who were injured by falling glass when windows popped outward from the sides of the building. The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for windows in such buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure on the outside surface of the windows. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the buildings can cause windows to pop out. (a) In your research into the case, you find some overhead views of your clients project, as shown below. The project includes two tall skyscrapers and some park area on a square plot. Plan (i) (Fig. P14.26(i), page 382) was submitted by the original architects and planners. At the last minute, the owner decided he didnt want the park grounds to be divided into two areas and submitted Plan (ii) (Fig. P14.26(ii), which is the way the project was built. Explain to your client why Plan (ii) is a much more dangerous situation in terms of windows popping out than Plan (i). (b) Your client is not convinced by your conceptual argument in part (a), so you provide a numerical argument. Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of 11.2 m/s outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions 4.00 m 1.50 m. Assume the density of the air to be constant at 1.20 kg/ m3. The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. Calculate the total force exerted by air on the windowpane for your client. (c) What If? To further convince your client of the problems with the building design, calculate the total force exerted by air on the windowpane if the wind speed between the buildings is 22.4 m/s, twice as high as in part (b). Figure P14.26arrow_forwardIn the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli's equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.arrow_forward
- Calculate the gauge pressures inside 2.00-cm-radius bubbles of water, alcohol, and soapy water. Which liquid forms the most stable bubbles, neglecting any effects of evaporation?arrow_forward(a) The density of water at 0C is very nearly 1000kg/m3 (it is actually 999.84kg/m3 ), whereas the density of ice at 0C is 917kg/m3. Calculate the pressure necessary to keep ice from expanding when it freezes, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing temperature. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.) (b) What are the implications of this result for biological cells that are frozen?arrow_forwardA submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 25.0 m below the surface. Calculate the force needed to open the hatch from the inside, given it is circular and 0.450 m in diameter. Air pressure inside the submarine is 1.00 atm.arrow_forward
- Review. (a) Derive an expression for the buoyant force on a spherical balloon, submerged in water, as a function of the depth h below the surface, the volume Vi of the balloon at the surface, the pressure P0 at the surface, and the density w of the water. Assume the water temperature does not change with depth, (b) Does the bouyant force increase or decrease as the balloon is submerged? (c) At what depth is the buoyant force one-half the surface value?arrow_forwardDry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.arrow_forward(a) How high will water rise in a glass capillary tube with a 0.500-mm radius? (b) How much gravitational potential energy does the water gain?
