The human brain and spinal cord are immersed in the cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid is normally continuous between the cranial and spinal cavities and exerts a pressure of 100 to 200 mm of H2O above the prevailing atmospheric pressure. In medical work, pressures are often measured in units of millimeters of H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal fluid, typically have the same density as water. The pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a spinal tap as illustrated in Figure P14.20.

A common parameter that can be used to predict turbulence in fluid flow is called the Reynolds number. The Reynolds number for fluid flow in a pipe is a dimensionless quantity defined as Re 5 rvd m where r is the density of the fluid, v is its speed, d is the inner diameter of the pipe, and m is the viscosity of the fluid. Viscosity is a measure of the internal resistance of a liquid to flow and has units of Pa s. The criteria for the type of flow are as follows: If Re , 2 300, the flow is laminar. If 2 300 , Re , 4 000, the flow is in a transition region between laminar and turbulent. If Re . 4 000, the flow is turbulent. (a) Lets model blood of density 1.06 3 103 kg/m3 and viscosity 3.00 3 103 Pa s as a pure liquid, that is, ignore the fact that it contains red blood cells. Suppose it is flowing in a large artery of radius 1.50 cm with a speed of 0.067 0 m/s. Show that the flow is laminar. (b) Imagine that the artery ends in a single capillary so that the radius of the artery reduces to a much smaller value. What is the radius of the capillary that would cause the flow to become turbulent? (c) Actual capillaries have radii of about 510 micrometers, much smaller than the value in part (b). Why doesnt the flow in actual capillaries become turbulent?

Evangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that the pressure of our atmosphere is attributable to the weight of the air. The density of air at 08C at the Earths surface is 1.29 kg/m3. The density decreases with increasing altitude (as the atmosphere thins). On the other hand, if we assume the density is constant at 1.29 kg/m3 up to some altitude h and is zero above that altitude, then h would represent the depth of the ocean of air. (a) Use this model to determine the value of h that gives a pressure of 1.00 atm at the surface of the Earth. (b) Would the peak of Mount Everest rise above the surface of such an atmosphere?

In 1983, the United States began coining the one-cent piece out of copper-clad zinc rather than pure copper. The mass of the old copper penny is 3.083 g and that of the new cent is 2.517 g. The density of copper is 8.920 g/cm3 and that of zinc is 7.133 g/cm3. The new and old coins have the same volume. Calculate the percent of zinc (by volume) in the new cent.

Review. A long, cylindrical rod of radius r is weighted on one end so that it floats upright in a fluid having a density r. It is pushed down a distance x from its equilibrium position and released. Show that the rod will execute simple harmonic motion if the resistive effects of the fluid are negligible, and determine the period of the oscillations.

Review. Figure P14.75 shows the essential parts of a hydraulic brake system. The area of the piston in the master cylinder is 1.8 cm2 and that of the piston in the brake cylinder is 6.4 cm2. The coefficient of friction between shoe and wheel drum is 0.50. If the wheel has a radius of 34cm, determine the frictional torque about the axle when a force of 44 N is exerted on the brake pedal.

The spirit-in-glass thermometer, invented in Florence, Italy, around 1654, consists of a tube of liquid (the spirit) containing a number of submerged glass spheres with slightly different masses (Fig. P14.76). At sufficiently low temperatures, all the spheres float, but as the temperature rises, the spheres sink one after another. The device is a crude but interesting tool for measuring temperature. Suppose the tube is filled with ethyl alcohol, whose density is 0.789 45 g/cm3 at 20.0C and decreases to 0.780 97 g/cm3 at 30.0C. (a) Assuming that one of the spheres has a radius of 1.000 cm and is in equilibrium halfway up the tube at 20.0C, determine its mass. (b) When the temperature increases to 30.0C, what mass must a second sphere of the same radius have to be in equilibrium at the halfway point? (c) At 30.0C, the first sphere has fallen to the bottom of the tube. What upward force does the bottom of the tube exert on this sphere?

Review. A uniform disk of mass 10.0 kg and radius 0.250 m spins at 300 rev/min on a low-friction axle. It must be brought to a stop in 1.00 min by a brake pad that makes contact with the disk at an average distance 0.220 m from the axis. The coefficient of friction between pad and disk is 0.500. A piston in a cylinder of diameter 5.00 cm presses the brake pad against the disk. Find the pressure required for the brake fluid in the cylinder.

Review. In a water pistol, a piston drives water through a large tube of area A1 into a smaller tube of area A2 as shown in Figure P14.78. The radius of the large tube is 1.00 cm and that of the small tube is 1.00 mm. The smaller tube is 3.00 cm above the larger tube. (a) If the pistol is fired horizontally at a height of 1.50 m, determine the time interval required for the water to travel from the nozzle to the ground. Neglect air resistance and assume atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm. (b) If the desired range of the stream is 8.00 m, with what speed v2 must the stream leave the nozzle? (c) At what speed v1 must the plunger be moved to achieve the desired range? (d) What is the pressure at the nozzle? (e) Find the pressure needed in the larger tube. (f)Calculate the force that must be exerted on the trigger to achieve the desired range. (The force that must be exerted is due to pressure over and above atmospheric pressure.)

An incompressible, nonviscous fluid is initially at rest in the vertical portion of the pipe shown in Figure P14.79a, where L 5 2.00 m. When the valve is opened, the fluid flows into the horizontal section of the pipe. What is the fluids speed when all the fluid is in the horizontal section as shown in Figure P14.79b? Assume the cross-sectional area of the entire pipe is constant.

The water supply of a building is fed through a main pipe 6.00 cm in diameter. A 2.00-cm-diameter faucet tap, located 2.00 m above the main pipe, is observed to fill a 25.0-L container in 30.0 s. (a) What is the speed at which the water leaves the faucet? (b) What is the gauge pressure in the 6-cm main pipe? Assume the faucet is the only leak in the building.

A U-tube open at both ends is partially filled with water (Fig. P14.81a). Oil having a density 750 kg/m3 is then poured into the right arm and forms a column L 5 5.00 cm high (Fig. P14.81b). (a) Determine the difference h in the heights of the two liquid surfaces. (b) The right arm is then shielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top of the left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the same height (Fig. P14.81c). Determine the speed of the air being blown across the left arm. Take the density of air as constant at 1.20 kg/m3.

The hull of an experimental boat is to be lifted above the water by a hydrofoil mounted below its keel as shown in Figure P14.83. The hydrofoil has a shape like that of an airplane wing. Its area projected onto a horizontal surface is A. When the boat is towed at sufficiently high speed, water of density r moves in streamline flow so that its average speed at the top of the hydrofoil is n times larger than its speed vb below the hydrofoil.

An ice cube whose edges measure 20.0 mm is floating in a glass of ice-cold water, and one of the ice cubes faces is parallel to the waters surface. (a) How far below the water surface is the bottom face of the block? (b) Ice-cold ethyl alcohol is gently poured onto the water surface to form a layer 5.00 mm thick above the water. The alcohol does not mix with the water. When the ice cube again attains hydrostatic equilibrium, what is the distance from the top of the water to the bottom face of the block? (c) Additional cold ethyl alcohol is poured onto the waters surface until the top surface of the alcohol coincides with the top surface of the ice cube (in hydrostatic equilibrium). How thick is the required layer of ethyl alcohol?

Why is the following situation impossible? A barge is carrying a load of small pieces of iron along a river. The iron pile is in the shape of a cone for which the radius r of the base of the cone is equal to the central height h of the cone. The barge is square in shape, with vertical sides of length 2r, so that the pile of iron comes just up to the edges of the barge. The barge approaches a low bridge, and the captain realizes that the top of the pile of iron is not going to make it under the bridge. The captain orders the crew to shovel iron pieces from the pile into the water to reduce the height of the pile. As iron is shoveled from the pile, the pile always has the shape of a cone whose diameter is equal to the side length of the barge. After a certain volume of iron is removed from the barge, it makes it under the bridge without the top of the pile striking the bridge.

Show that the variation of atmospheric pressure with altitude is given by P 5 P0e2ay , where a 5 r0g/P0, P0 is atmospheric pressure at some reference level y 5 0, and r0 is the atmospheric density at this level. Assume the decrease in atmospheric pressure over an infinitesimal change in altitude (so that the density is approximately uniform over the infinitesimal change) can be expressed from Equation 14.4 as dP 5 2rg dy. Also assume the density of air is proportional to the pressure, which, as we will see in Chapter 20, is equivalent to assuming the temperature of the air is the same at all altitudes.
