Chapter 14: Q26P (page 408)

To suck lemonade of density 1000kg/m3up a straw to a maximum height of 4.0cm, what minimum gauge pressure (in atmospheres) must you produce in your lungs?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Gauge pressure produced in the lungs in atmospheric unit is-3.9×103atm

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Maximum height,h=4cmor0.04m

Density of lemonade, ρ=1000kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity,g=9.8m/s2

02

Understanding the concept of pressure

To find gauge pressure in the atm, we can use the formula for pressure in terms of density, acceleration due to gravity, and height. Using the conversion factor, we can convert the pressure into atmospheric pressure.

Formula:

Pressure applied on a body,p=ρgh

03

Calculation of gauge pressure in atm

The pressure produced in the lungs in SI unit using equation (i) can be given as follows:

p=−1000kg/m3×0.04m×9.8m/s2

=-392Pa

role="math" localid="1657535402885" =−392Pa×1atm1.01×105Pa(1atm=1.01×105Pa)

=-3.9×10-3atm

So, the pressure value is-3.9×10-3atm

Negative sign indicates that the pressure inside the lung is less than the outside pressure.

Three children, each of weight 356N, make a log raft by lashing together logs of diameter 0.30mand length 1.80m. How many logs will be needed to keep them afloat in fresh water? Take the density of the logs to be 800kgm3.

Consider the venturi tube of Figure without the manometer. Let, Aequal localid="1658313222020" 5a. Suppose the pressure localid="1658313216049" p1at localid="1658313234980" Ais localid="1658313228211" 2.0atm.

(a) Compute the values of the speed localid="1658313241250" vat A.

(b) Compute the values of the speed localid="1658313246652" vat a that make the pressure localid="1658313253283" p2at an equal to zero.

In Fig. 14-39a, a rectangular block is gradually pushed face-down into a liquid. The block has height d; on the bottom and top the face area is A=5.67cm2. Figure 14-39b gives the apparent weight Wappof the block as a function of the depth h of its lower face. The scale on the vertical axis is set by Ws=0.20N. What is the density of the liquid?

When a pilot takes a tight turn at high speed in a modern fighter airplane, the blood pressure at the brain level decreases, blood no longer perfuse the brain, and the blood in the brain drains. If the heart maintains the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the aorta at 120torr(or mmHg) when the pilot undergoes a horizontal centripetal acceleration of4g. What is the blood pressure (intorr) at the brain, localid="1657253735468" 30cmradially inward from the heart? The perfusion in the brain is small enough that the vision switches to black and white and narrows to “tunnel vision” and the pilot can undergo g-LOC (“g-induced loss of consciousness”). Blood density is1.06×103kg/m3.

Blood pressure in Argentinosaurus. (a) If this longnecked, gigantic sauropod had a head height of 21 mand a heart height of9.0m,what (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in its blood was required at the heart such that the blood pressure at the brain was 80 torr (just enough to perfuse the brain with blood)? Assume the blood had a density of1.06×103KG/M3. (b) What was the blood pressure (in torror mm Hg) at the feet?
