Chapter 1: Q12E (page 59)

(a) The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the trace metal magnesium is 410mg/day for males. Express this quantity in mg/day. (b) For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 75-kg adult receive? (c) A typical multivitamin tablet can contain 2.0mg of vitamin B2(riboflavin), and the RDA is 0.0030g/day. How many such tablets should a person take each day to get the proper amount of this vitamin, if he gets none from other sources? (d) The RDA for the trace element selenium is0.000070g/day. Express this dose in mg/day.

Short Answer

Expert verified

After the calculation as per given problem a 75 Kg weighed adult can consume 900mg or 0.900grams of Lysine.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation daily trace

410mg/day

=410×1000=410000

02

consumption by 75Kg weighed adult

(b)

1000mg=1gram

So, hypothetically if someone weighed 1Kg they would need 12mg of Lysine daily.

That means , a 75 Kg adult would need 900mg lysine, which is0.900grams.

03

Calculation of number of tablets

( c)

No of tablets =0.003/0.002=1.5 tablets

Therefore, he should take 2 tablets.

04

Conversion

0.000070g/day=0.070mg/day(conversion g to mg )

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

How many gallons of gasoline are used in the United States in one day? Assume that there are two cars for every three people, that each car is driven an average of 10,000 miles per year, and that the average car gets 20 miles per gallon.

You have probably noticed that the lower the tire pressure, the larger the contact area between the tire and the road. Why?

Equation (12.7) shows that an area ratio of 100 to 1 can give 100

times more output force than input force. Doesn’t this violate conservation

ofenergy? Explain.
