The average blood pressure is . a. Compute the work done moving the 6.0 L of blood completely through the body, assuming the blood pressure always takes its average value. b. What power output must the heart have to do this task once a minute? Hint: When the heart contracts, it applies force to the blood. Pressure is just force/area, so we can write work = pressure × area × distance. But area × distance is just the blood volume passing through the heart.

Problem 75PP Tennis Ball Testing A tennis ball bouncing on a hard surface compresses and then rebounds. The details of the rebound are specified in tennis regulations. Tennis balls, to be acceptable for tournament play, must have a mass of 57.5 g. When dropped from a height of 2.5 m onto a concrete surface, a ball must rebound to a height of 1.4 m.

Problem 80PP Work and Power in Cycling When you ride a bicycle at constant speed, almost all of the energy you expend goes into the work you do against the drag force of the air. In this problem, assume that all of the energy expended goes into working against drag. As we saw in Section 5.6, the drag force on an object is approximately proportional to the square of its speed with respect to the air. For this problem, assume that exactly and that the air is motionless with respect to the ground unless noted otherwise.
