As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.41 cm? and the woman's mass is 62.0 kg. Express the pressure in pascals. (In the early days of commercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were too thin to withstand such large pressures.)

it’s a lovely day and you decide to launch a giant helium balloon. Once filled, your balloon is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6.90 m. You consider having the balloon lift a crate of water balloons. What is the maximum weight the filled helium balloon can just lift (solve for the equilibrium condition where upward force equals downward force)? Assume that the membrane of the helium balloon has a mass of 920 kg (this does not include the mass of the helium within nor the mass of the crate). Neglect the buoyant force on the crate of water balloons. Density of He is 0.179 kg/m3. Density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. Volume of a sphere is 4/3 π r3. Weight is in N (not kg)

A meat baster consists of a squeeze bulb attached to a plastic tube. When the bulb is squeezed and released, with the open end of the tube under the surface of the basting sauce, the sauce rises in the tube to a distance h, as the drawing shows. Using 1.013 × 105 Pa for the atmospheric pressure and 1340 kg/m³ for the density of the sauce, find the absolute pressure PB in the bulb when the distance h is (a) 0.16 m and (b) 0.08 m.
