Question
Suppose that a flat surface is immersed vertically in a fluid of weight density ρ and that the submerged portion of the surface extends from x = a to x = b along an x-axis whose positive direction is down. If, for a ≤ x ≤ b, the surface has width w(x) and depth h(x), then the fluid force on the surface is F = ______.

- A liquid of density Ꝭ = 850 kg/m3 moves from a horizontal tube of radius r1 into a second horizontal tube of radius r2 (you can consider both tubes to be at the same height). The radius of the second tube is half of the radius of the first tube. The difference in pressure between the two tubes (P1 – P2) is equal to 6.00 x 103 N/m2.

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_forwardA uniform flexible cable is 20m long and has a mass of 5.0 kg.
