Question
Pressure cookers have been around for more than 300 years, although their use has greatly declined in recent years (early models had a nasty habit of exploding). How much force must the latches holding the lid onto a pressure cooker be able to withstand if the circular lid is 25.0 cm in diameter and the gauge pressure inside is 300 atm? Neglect the weight of the lid.

- A lost shipping container is found resting on the ocean floor and completely submerged. The container is 6.4 m long, 2.4 m wide, and 2.9 m high. Salvage experts attach a spherical balloon to the top of the container and inflate it with air pumped down from the surface.. When the balloon's radius is 1.3 m, the shipping container just begins to rise towards the surface. What is the mass of the container? Ignore the mass of the balloon and the air within it. Do not neglect the buoyant force exerted on the shipping container by the water. The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m³.

If blockage of the drainage duct for aqueous humor causes this pressure to increase to about 50 mm of mercury, the condition is called glaucoma. What is the increase in the total force (in newtons) on the walls of the eye if the pressure increases from 24 mm to 50 mm of mercury? We can quite accurately model the eye as a sphere 2.2 cm in diameter. Express your answer in newtons.arrow_forward
- A 0.504 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 5.71 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 2.79, 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?arrow_forwardAt a given instant, the blood pressure in the heart is 1.7 x 104 Pa.

- What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00 mm at room temperature? Surface tension of mercury at that temperature (20°C) is 4.65 x 10 N m. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 10° Pa. Also give the excess pressure inside the drop.arrow_forwardA 0.527 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 1.35, what is the initial acceleration ? of the metal cylinder? Assume the pressure outside of the tube is 1.00 atmand that the top of the tube is open to the air.arrow_forwardTire gauges for air pressure, as well as most other gauges used in an industrial environment take into account the pressure due to the atmosphere of earth. That's why your car gauge reads 0 before you put it on your tire to check your pressure. That is called gauge pressure. The real pressure within a tire or other object contains pressurized stuff would be a combination of what the gauge reads as well at the atmospheric pressure. If a gauge on a tire reads 40.16 psi, what is the real pressure in the tire in pascals. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01x10^5 Pa.arrow_forward
