- A small blood vessels near the skin surface has a radius of 10um, a length of 1um and the pressure drop along the blood vessel is 2.50pa.The viscosity of blood is 0.0027pa.s. i. What is the volume flow rate of blood through this blood vessel. What is the velocity of blood flow? ii.Vasodilation causes the radius of this blood vessel to increase to 12um, while leaving the pressure drop along the vessel unchanged? What is the velocity of blood flow?arrow_forwardBlood pressure is measured when the blood is pumping (systolic) and when the heart is resting (diastolic). When pressure readings are given, the systolic is given first, and healthy blood pressure is around 120 over 80 mm Hg. Recall the density of mercury is 13.6 × 103 kg/m3. a. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg. What is your systolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared? b. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg. What is your diastolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared?arrow_forward2.

If a small hole is punched in its side 89.0 cm from the top, at what initial speed will the water flow from the hole? m/s ceil6 ceil cci16 ceil6 carrow_forward3. In scuba diving, a regulator is used so that the pressure of the air the diver breathes is close to that of the ambient water. A reckless swimmer decides to use a hose sticking out of the surface to breathe underwater while diving in a lake. When the air pressure in the lungs is at a pressure of around 0.155 atmospheres below the ambient pressure, lung injury may occur. Find the depth at which the swimmer would experience such a pressure differential.arrow_forward1. The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in figure. Determine the gage pressure of air in the tank if h1 = 0.4 m. h2 = 0.6 m, and h3 = 0.8 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.

- You want to test whether your bar of gold is pure or not. It has a mass of 1000 g when you measured in air and 960g when totally submerged in water. Is your bar of gold pure or not? The density of pure gold is 19.3 g/cm3. If not, what is the percentage of impurities?arrow_forwardA viscous fluid flows in two different pipes. Pipe 1 has a radius r1, and Pipe 2 has a radius r2. If both pipes have the same length and r1 > r2, choose the correct statement about the pressure difference of the fluid in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2 The pressure difference of the fluid is the same in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2. The fluid in Pipe 1 has larger pressure difference. It cannot be determined in which pipe the fluid has larger pressure difference. The fluid in Pipe 2 has larger pressure difference.arrow_forwardThree glass containers containing water of the same temperature have different shapes and thickness. The distance between the top surface of the water and the bottom of each glass container is the same. Which of the following statements correctly characterizes the pressure at the bottom of the glass containers? (explain why) 2 3 a. Pressure at the bottom of all glass containers is the same. b. Pressure at the bottom of (2) and (3) are the highest because they have the same volume. c. Pressure at the bottom of (2) is the highest because it is wide. d. Pressure at the bottom of (1) is the highest because it is narrow. e. Pressure at the bottom of (3) is the highest because it is vertically aligned.arrow_forward

It is open to the air at the very top. i. What is the total pressure at the top of the tank (including atmospheric pressure)? ii. What is the total pressure at the bottom of the tank (including atmospheric pressure)? iii. The other side of the glass wall is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total net force on the wall? (hint: the pressure changes linearly as a function of depth, so you can use the average pressure to find the force)arrow_forward
