Giraffe bending to drink. In a giraffe with its head 2.0 m above its heart, and its heart 2.0 m above its feet, the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is 250 torr. Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06 X 103 kg/m3. In torr (or mm Hg), find the (gauge) blood pressure (a) at the brain (the pressure is enough to perfuse the brain with blood, to keep the giraffe from fainting) and (b) at the feet (the pressure must be countered by tight-fitting skin acting like a pressure stocking). (c) If the giraffe were to lower its head to drink from a pond without splaying its legs and moving slowly, what would be the increase in the blood pressure in the brain? (Such action would probably be lethal.)

Snorkeling by humans and elephants. When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snorkel tube and thus are at atmospheric pressure. In atmospheres, what is the difference D.p between this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the Fig. 14-31 Problem 16. body if the length of the snorkel tube is (a) 20 cm (standard situation) and (b) 4.0 m (probably lethal situation)? In the latter, the pressure difference causes blood vessels on the walls of the lungs to rupture, releasing blood into the lungs. As depicted in Fig. 14-31, an elephant can safely snorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungs 4.0 m below the water surface because the membrane around its lungs contains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels, preventing rupturing.

g-LOC in dogfights. When a pilot takes a tight turn at high speed in a modern fighter airplane, the blood pressure at the brain level decreases, blood no longer perfuses the brain, and the blood in the brain drains. If the heart maintains the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the aorta at 120 torr (or mm Hg) when the pilot undergoes a horizontal centripetal acceleration of 4g, what is the blood pressure (in torr) at the brain, 30 cm radially inward from the heart? The perfusion in the brain is small enough that the vision switches to black and white and narrows to "tunnel vision" and the pilot can undergo g-LOC ("g-induced loss of consciousness"). Blood density is 1.06 X 103 kg/m3.

In analyzing certain geological features, it is often appropriate to assume that the pressure at some horizontal level of compensation, deep inside Earth, is the same over a large region and is equal to the pressure due to the gravitational force on the overlying material. Thus, the pressure on the level of compensation is given by the fluid pressure formula.

About one-third of the body of a person floating in the Dead Sea will be above the waterline. Assuming that the human body density is 0.98 g/cm3, find the density of the water in the Dead Sea. (Why is it so much greater than 1.0 g/cm3?)

A simple open U-tube contains mercury. When 11.2 cm of water is poured into the right arm of the tube, how high above its initiallevel does the mercury rise in the left arm?

If a bubble in sparkling water accelerates upward at the rate of 0.225 m/s2 and has a radius of 0.500 mm, what is its mass? Assume that the drag force on the bubble is negligible.

Suppose that your body has a uniform density of 0.95 times that of water. (a) If you float in a swimming pool, what fraction of your body's volume is above the water surface? Quicksand is a fluid produced when water is forced up into sand, moving the sand grains away from one another so they are no longer locked together by friction. Pools of quicksand can form when water drains underground from hills into valleys where there are sand pockets. (b) If you float in a deep pool of quicksand that has a density 1.6 times that of water, what fraction of your body's volume is above the quicksand surface? (c) In particular, are you submerged enough to be unable to breathe?

A glass ball of radius 2.00 cm sits at the bottom of a container of milk that has a density of 1.03 g/cm3. The normal force on the ball from the container's lower surface has magnitude 9.48 X 10-2 N. What is the mass of the ball?

Caught in an avalanche, a skier is fully submerged in flowing snow of density 96 kg/m3. Assume that the average density of the skier, clothing, and skiing equipment is 1020 kg/m3. What percentage of the gravitational force on the skier is offset by the buoyant force from the snow?

An object hangs from a spring balance. The balance registers 30 N in air, 20 N when this object is immersed in water, and 24 N when the object is immersed in another liquid of unknown density. What is the density of that other liquid?

In an experiment, a rectangular block with height h is allowed to float in four separate liquids. In the first liquid, which is water, it floats fully submerged. In liquids A, B, and C, it floats with heights h/2, 2h/3, and h/4 above the liquid surface, respectively. What are the relative densities (the densities relative to that of water) of (a) A, (b) B, and (c) C?

Figure 14-30 shows a modified U-tube: the right arm is shorter than the left arm. The open end of the right arm is height d = 10.0 cm above the laboratory bench. The radius throughout the tube is 1.50 cm. Water is gradually poured into the open end of the left arm until the water begins to flow out the open end of the right arm. Then a liquid of density 0.80 g/cm3 is gradually added to the left arm until its height in that arm is 8.0 cm (it does not mix with the water). How much water flows out of the right arm?

What is the acceleration of a rising hot-air balloon if the ratio of the air density outside the balloon to that inside is 1.39? Neglect the mass of the balloon fabric and the basket.

Figure 14-56 shows a siphon, which is a device for removing liquid from a container. Tube ABC must initially be filled, but once this has been done, liquid will flow through the tube until the liquid surface in the container is level with the tube opening at A. The liquid has density 1000 kg/m3 and negligible viscosity. The distances shown are hi = 25 cm, d = 12 cm, and h2 = 40 cm. (a) With what speed does the liquid emerge from the tube at C? (b) If the atmospheric pressure is 1.0 X 105 Pa, what is the pressure in the liquid at the topmost point B? (c) Theoretically, what is the greatest possible height h, that a siphon can lift water?

When you cough, you expel air at high speed through the trachea and upper bronchi so that the air will remove excess mucus lining the pathway. You produce the high speed by this procedure: You breathe in a large amount of air, trap it by closing the glottis (the narrow opening in the larynx), increase the air pressure by contracting the lungs, partially collapse the trachea and upper bronchi to narrow the pathway, and then expel the air through the pathway by suddenly reopening the glottis. Assume that during the expulsion the volume flow rate is 7.0 X 10-3 m3/s. What multiple of the speed of sound Vs (= 343 m/s) is the airspeed through the trachea if the trachea diameter (a) remains its normal value of 14 mm and (b) contracts to 5.2 mm?

A tin can has a total volume of 1200 cm3 and a mass of 130 g. How many grams of lead shot of density 11.4 g/cm3 could it carry without sinking in water?
