Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb = ? airgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 70 kg each Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of the number of people carried in the balloon on acceleration. Plot the acceleration against the number of people, and discuss the results Assume the density of air is ? =1.16kg/m3, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage
Discuss how you might measure the bulk modulus of a liquid.
For a gas, which of the following does not vary with temperature?
- the gas soecific weight
- the gas dynamic viscosity
- the gas specific volume
- the gas constant R
- the gas density

- In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap. A hollow tube is inserted into the spinal column, and the height to which the fluid rises is observed. If the fluid rises to a height of 160 mm, we write its gauge pressure as 160 mm H2O. (a) Express this pressure in pascals, in atmospheres, and in millimeters of mercury.arrow_forwardIn medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water.

In other cases, a physician may suspect that a tumor or other growth is locking the spinal column and inhibiting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Such conditions can be investigated by means of the Queckensted test. In this procedure the veins in the patient’s neck are compressed, to make the blood pressure rise in the brain.
