Some claim that mountain climbers suffer from headaches due not only to a lack of oxygen in the brain, but also to the expansion of
the brain in the cranium. Find the fractional change of the brain's volume due to a reduction in pressure from 101 kPa at sea level to 31.2 kPa high in the Himalayas. The bulk modulus is 2.10 GPa. (Another reason the brain expands is the dilation of the blood vessels in
the brain in order to deliver more oxygen.)
A steel cylinder is placed on top of a brass cylinder.
Each cylinder is 30 cm tall and has a diameter of 10
cm. Upon a load of 20 kg being placed on top of a
steel cylinder, by how much will the length of a brass
cylinder be compressed?
The power output of the heart is given by the
product of the average blood pressure, 1.33 N/cm², and the flow rate, 105 cm³/s.
Find the power of the heart. Give your answer in watts.

- Some researchers believe that the dinosaur Barosaurus held its head erect on a long neck, much as a giraffe does. If so, fossil remains indicate that its heart would have been about 12.4 m below its brain. Assume that the blood has the density of water, and calculate the amount by which the blood pressure in the heart would have exceeded that in the brain. Size estimates for the single heart needed to withstand such a pressure range up to two tons. Alternatively, Barosaurus may have had a number of smaller hearts.
