Question
A flat roof is very susceptible to wind damage during a thunderstorm or tornado. If a flat roof has an area of 700 m2 and winds of speed 61.0 m/s blow above it, (a) determine the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the roof. The density of air is 1.29 kg/m3 . (Written steps required) (b) determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the roof. (Written steps required)

- A 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?

- It is a fact that blood flows more rapidly in the aorta than in the capillaries. The cross sectional area of the aorta must be ___________ the total cross sectional area of the capillaries. less than equal to greater than Consider an incompressible liquid flowing in a pipe of constant diameter. ΔP is the pressure difference between the 2 ends of the pipe. Choose the correct statement regarding the volumetric flow. It will decrease with increased ΔP, and increase with greater pipe radius. It will increase with increased ΔP, and increase with greater length of the pipe. it will decrease with greater length of the pipe, and increase with greater pipe radius. it will decrease with increased viscosity of the liquid, and decrease with greater pipe radius.arrow_forwardSuppose 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).

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.
