1-108 A pressure cooker cooks a lot faster than an ordinary
pan by maintaining a higher pressure and temperature inside.
The lid of a pressure cooker is well sealed, and steam can
escape only through an opening in the middle of the lid. A
separate metal piece, the petcock, sits on top of this opening
and prevents steam from escaping until the pressure force
overcomes the weight of the petcock. The periodic escape of
the steam in this manner prevents any potentially dangerous
pressure buildup and keeps the pressure inside at a constant
value. Determine the mass of the petcock of a pressure
cooker whose operation pressure is 100 kPa gage and has an
opening cross-sectional area of 4 mm². Assume an atmo-
spheric pressure of 101 kPa, and draw the free-body diagram
of the petcock. Answer: 40.8 g

- Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of a person at the level of the heart. Using a mercury manometer and a stethoscope, the systolic pressure (the maximum pressure when the heart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the minimum pressure when the heart is resting) are measured in mmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressures of a healthy person are about 120 mmHg and 80 mmHg, respectively, and are indicated as 120/80. Express both of these gage pressures in kPa, psi, and meter water column.arrow_forwardThe weight of a woman whose weight in pounds is 300, Determine her mass in slugs, from the following answers which of them is correct: 93.323 slugs 19.323 slugs 9.323 slugs 0.9323 slugsarrow_forwardA frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 100 kg of saturated liquid refrigerant-134a.
