Question
At a certain depth in the ocean, the absolute pressure is p. If you go to twice that depth (treating the water as incompressible)
- the absolut pressure will be 2p
- the absolute pressure will be less than 2p
- the absolute pressure will be greater than 2p
- the gauge pressure will not change

- Suppose you measure a standing person’s blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.495 m below the heart. For this problem, assume that there is no loss of pressure due to resistance in the circulatory system (a reasonable assumption, since major arteries are large). The density of blood is 1.05 × 103 kg/m3. Calculate the systolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the to (and greater) number is systolic pressure. Ps? Calculate the diastolic pressure you would observe, in unites of mm Hg, if the pressure at heart was 120 overc80cmm Hg. Note that the bottom (smaller) number is the diastolic pressure.Pd?arrow_forwardA particular table has three identical legs, and the surface area at the bottom of each leg in contact with the floor is 4.00 x 10m?. Assume the legs are uniformly spaced around the table, and the mass of the table is uniformly distributed with respect to the legs. The total mass of the table is 32.7 kg. What is the pressure (in Pa) on the bottom of each table leg (due to the floor alone, ignoring atmospheric pressure)? Pa Need Help?

- Suppose you measure a standing person’s blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.525 m below the heart. For this problem, assume that there is no loss of pressure due to resistance in the circulatory system (a reasonable assumption, since major arteries are large). The density of blood is 1.05×103 kg/m3 a. Calculate the systolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hgmm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the top (and greater) number is the systolic pressure. b. Calculate the diastolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hgmm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the bottom (smaller) number is the diastolic pressure.arrow_forwardA pipe with a radius of 51 cm has water flowing at 5.3 m/s. If water goes into a new pipe with radius 21 cm, how much will the pressure decrease?

Show that the buoyancy force acting on the fluid element may be written as Pe dv dt = -(Pe - p)g where Pe is the density inside the fluid element, p is the density of the gas in the surrounding gas at radius r, v is the velocity of the fluid element and g is local acceleration due to gravity. For full marks you should explain each step of your derivation. b) With the aid of a diagram, explain the condition required for convection to occur by considering the small displacement of a fluid element from its original equilibrium location within a star.arrow_forward
