Many fish maintain buoyancy with a gas-filled swim bladder. The pressure inside the swim bladder is the same as the outside water pressure, so when a fish descends to a greater depth, the gas compresses. Adding gas to restore the original volume requires energy. A fish at a depth where the absolute pressure is 3.0 atm has a swim bladder with the desired volume of 5.0 × 10-4 m3. The fish now descends to a depth where the absolute pressure is 5.0 atm.a. The gas in the swim bladder is always the same temperatureas the fish’s body. What is the volume of the swim bladder at the greater depth?b. The fish remains at the greater depth, slowly adding gas to the swim bladder to return it to its desired volume. How much work is required?

A cylinder containing ideal gas is sealed by a piston that is above the gas. The piston is a cylindrical object, with a weight of 22.0 N, which can slide up or down in the cylinder without friction.

A practitioner lightly squeezes the plunger, but no serum is emitted by the needle into a vein. So the practitioner gradually increases the squeezing force that she exerts on the plunger such that serum begins to be emitted from the needle into the vein. Assuming no surface tension or friction, what is the minimum squeezing force that the practitioner applies to the plunger in order that serum begins to be emitted from the needle into the vein?

The initial pressure of the gas - Unstrained spring Pin is 1.01 × 10$ Pa. A frictionless mov- able piston separates the gas from the left portion of the cylinder, which is evacuated and contains an ideal spring, as the drawing shows. The piston is initially held in place by a pin. The spring is initially unstrained, and the length of the gas-filled portion is 20.0 cm. When the pin is removed and the gas is allowed to expand, the length of the gas-filled chamber doubles. The initial and final temperatures are equal. Determine the spring constant of the spring.arrow_forward
