Fish control their buoyancy through the use of a swim bladder, a gas-filled organ inside the body. You can assume that the pressure inside the swim bladder is roughly equal to the external water pressure. A fish swimming at a particular depth adjusts the volume of its swim bladder to give it neutral buoyancy. If the fish swims upwards or downwards, the changing water pressure causes the bladder to expand or contract. Consequently, the fish adjusts the amount of gas in the bladder to restore it to the original volume and reestablish neutral buoyancy. Consider a large, 10.0 kg striped bass swimming in fresh water. When neutrally buoyant, 7% of the total volume of the fish is taken up by air in the swim bladder. Assume a constant body temperature of 15°C and neglect the mass of the air in your calculations. If the fish begins at a depth of 20 meters, what will the volume of the swim bladder be if the fish ascends to a depth of 10 m without changing the quantity of gas in the swim bladder?

A 0.458 kg metal cylinder is placed inside the top of a plastic tube, the lower end of which is sealed off by an adjustable plunger. The cylinder comes to rest some distance above the plunger. The plastic tube has an inner radius of 6.56 mm and is frictionless. Neither the plunger nor the metal cylinder allow any air to flow around them. If the plunger is suddenly pushed upwards, increasing the pressure between the plunger and the metal cylinder by a factor of 1.59, what is the initial acceleration a of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atm and that the top of the tube is open to the air. a = m/s?
Q. Blood flow. An artery of diameter 1.0 cm divides completely into capillaries, each of diameter 20 microns. There are a large number of capillaries, N, such that the net cross sectional area for these capillaries is equal to the cross sectional area of the artery. What is APc/APa, the ratio of the pressure change per unit length along one of the capillaries (AP.) to that of the pressure change per unit length along the artery (APa)? 5.0 x102 O4.0 x10-6 1.0 O1.2 x108 6.2 x1010 2.5 x105
The figure illustrates flow through a pipe with diameters of1.0 mm and2:0 mm and with different elevations, Px is the pressure in the pipe, and V, is the speed of a non-viscous incompressible fluid at locations X=Q,R,S,T, or U.
An ideal fluid is flowing with a speed of 12 cm/s through a pipe of diameter 5 cm. The pipe splits into three smaller pipes, each with a diameter of 2 cm. What is the speed of the fluid in the smaller pipes?
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?
The tympanic membrane, or eardrum, is a structure that separates the external and middle parts of the ear (see the figure). It is sensitive to and vibrates in response to changes in air pressure and transmits these vibrations to other structures in the inner ear that lead to the sensation of hearing. Under normal conditions, the pressure on the inside and outside of the tympanic membrane are kept approximately equal. The auditory tube, also called the Eustachian tube, is responsible for this equilibration. However, rapid changes in external pressure can cause large pressure differentials on the tympanic membrane, causing it to rupture. A differential force across the eardrum membrane as little as 5.0 N can cause a rupture. (a) If the cross-sectional area of the membrane is 1.0 cm², what is the maximum tolerable pressure difference between the external and inner ear? (b) Based on your answer in part (a), to what maximum depth could a person dive in fresh water before rupturing an…
A tall graduated cylinder contains 7 cm of oil (density of 825 kg/m3kg/m3) on top of 20 cm of water (density of 1000 kg/m3kg/m3). The cylinder is open to the air. What is the pressure in the water, 3 cm above the bottom of the cylinder? (in Pa) 1.0323×105 1.0335×105 1.0353×105 1.0294×105 1.0157×105
There is a maximum depth at which a diver can breathe through a snorkel tube because as the depth increases, so does the pressure difference, which tends to collapse the diver’s lungs. Since the snorkel connects the air in the lungs to the atmosphere at the surface, the pressure inside the lungs is atmospheric pressure. What is the external–internal pressure difference when the diver’s lungs are at a depth of 6.1 m (about 20 ft)? Assume that the diver is in freshwater. (A scuba diver breathing from compressed air tanks can operate at greater depths than can a snorkeler, since the pressure of the air inside the scuba diver’s lungs increases to match the external pressure of the water.)
Blood 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?

Smoking can cause a person's arteries to constrict to 90 % of their normal radius. If the usual pressure difference needed to maintain a healthy blood flow rate in an artery is 405 Pa, what new pressure difference is needed to maintain the same volume flow rate (NOT flow speed)? You may assume that the artery has a length of 10 cm, a radius of 2 mm, and that blood has a viscosity of 2.7×10−3N⋅s/m2.7×10−3N⋅s/m. (in Pa) 450 328 617 500 266
You come across an open container that is filled with two liquids. Since the two liquids have different densities, there is a distinct separation between them. Water, which has a density of pw = 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³, fills the lower portion of the container to a depth of 0.212 m. The fluid that is floating on top of the water is 0.335 m deep. If the absolute pressure on the bottom of the container is 1.049 × 105 Pa, what is the density, p₁, of the unknown fluid? The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s² and atmospheric pressure is Po= 1.013 × 105 Pa. P₁ = kg/m³
