B. When you ascend or descend a great deal when going up to a high place, your ears "pop," which means that the pressure behind the eardrum is being equalized to that outside. If this did not happen, what would be the approximate force on an eardrum of area 0.50 cm² if a change in altitude of 1500 m takes place?

In about 1657. Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P9.89). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then with greatest difficulty, with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing. Find the force F required to pull the thin-walled evacuated hemispheres apart in terms of R, the radius of the hemispheres, P the pressure inside the hemispheres, and atmospheric pressure P0.

Calculate the pressure due to the ocean at the bottom of the Marianas Trench near the Philippines, given its depth is 11.0 km and assuming the density of sea water is constant all the way down. (b) Calculate the percent decrease in volume of sea water due to such a pressure, assuming its bulk modulus is the same as water and is constant. (c) What would be the percent increase in its density? Is the assumption of constant density valid? Will the actual pressure be greater or smaller than that calculated under this assumption?
How tall must a water-filled manometer be to measure blood pressures as high as 300 mm Hg?
In an immersion measurement of a woman's density, she is found to have a mass of 62.0 kg in air an apparent mass of 0.0850 kg completely submerged with lungs empty. (a) What of water does she displace? (b) What is her volume? (c) Calculate her density. (d) If her lung capacity is 1.7S L, is she able to that without treading water with her lungs filled air?
Verify that the SI unit of hpg is N/m2.
Considering the magnitude of typical arterial blood pressures, why are mercury rather than water manometers used for these measurements?
A copper rod with length 1.4 m and cross-sectional area 2.0 cm2 is fastened to a steel rod of length L and cross-sectional area 1.0 cm2. The compound structure is pulled on each side by two forces of equal magnitude 6.00 104 N (Fig. P14.57). Find the length L of the steel rod if the elongations (L) of the two rods are equal. Use the values Ysteel = 2.0 1011 Pa and YCu = 1.1 1011 Pa. FIGURE P14.57
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
