The aorta carries blood away from the heart at a speed of about 45 cm/s and has a radius of
approximately 1.1 cm. The aorta branches eventually into a large number of tiny capillaries that distribute
the blood to the various body organs. In a capillary, the blood speed is approximately 0.074 cm/s, and the
radius is about 6.2 x 10-4 cm. Treat the blood as an incompressible fluid, and use these data to determine
the approximate number of capillaries in the human body. Round to the nearest millions.

In a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston of circular cross
section having a radius of r1=5.00 cm. This pressure is transmitted by an incompressible liquid to a second
piston of radius r2=15.0 cm. What force must the compressed air exert on the small piston in order to lift a
car weighing 13,300 N? Neglect the weights of the pistons.

1.48x10^3 N

The human lungs can function satisfactorily up to a limit where the pressure difference between the
outside and inside of the lungs is one-twentieth of an atmosphere. If a diver uses a snorkel for breathing,
how far below the water can she swim? Assume the diver is in salt water whose density is 1025 kg/m3.

A large rectangular tub is filled to a depth of 2.60 m with olive oil, which has density 915 kg/m^3. If the
tub has length 5.00 m and width 3.00 m, calculate the weight of the olive oil.

Water enters a house through a pipe with an inside diameter of 2.0 cm at an absolute pressure of
4.0×10^5 Pa (about 4 atm). A 1.0-cm-diameter pipe leads to the second-floor bathroom 5.0 m above.
When the flow speed at the inlet pipe is 1.5 m/s, find the flow speed.

v = 6.0 m/s

The handle of a hydraulic jack is 15 cm long and is pivoted 2.5 cm from the input piston which has a radius
of 0.60 cm. The output piston has a radius of 1.2 cm. What weight could be lifted by the jack if the person
pushing on the handle is to exert no more than 110 N of force?

According to Archimede's principle, if a body is immersed partially or fully in a fluid then the buoyancy
force is _____ the weight of fluid displaced by the body.

Water flows through a cylindrical pipe of varying cross-section. The velocity is 3.0 m/s at a point where the
pipe diameter is 1.0 cm. At a point where the pipe diameter is 3.0 cm, the velocity is? (answer is in
meters/second)

Blood travels through an artery at velocity v. If a vasoconstricting chemical is consumed and the artery
constricts to half the original diameter, what is the new velocity of the blood? Note: assign or use velocity2
as your new velocity. Use this format to type your answer: Sample Answer: velocity2=2xvelocity1

velocity2=4xvelocity1

What mass of water (at 4.0 °C) can be contained in a rectangular box whose dimensions are 10.0 cm by
5.00 cm by 1.00 cm? The density of water at 4.0 °C is 1.000 × 103 kg/m3. Answer with units (SI). Enter the
answer without its units.

Water is moving with a speed of 8.0 m/s through a pipe of 4.0 cm diameter. The water gradually descends
15m as the pipe diameter increases to 6.0 cm. If the pressure at the upper level is 2.0 x 105 Pa, what is the
pressure in Pascal at the lower level?

The atmospheric pressure above a swimming pool changes from 750 to 764 mm of mercury. The bottom
of the pool is a 20.7 m x 28.6 m rectangle. By how much does the force on the bottom of the pool
increase?. Round to the nearest hundred thousands. (133 Pa = 1.0 mm Hg).

Consider a 70-kg woman who has a total foot imprint area of 400 cm2. She wishes to walk on the snow,
but the snow cannot withstand pressures greater than 0.5 kPa. Determine the minimum size of the
snowshoes needed (imprint area per shoe) to enable her to walk on the snow without sinking.

ANSWER: 1.37

The mass of an ancient Greek coin is determined in air to be 8.630 g. When the coin is submerged in
water, its apparent mass is 7.800 g. Calculate its density, given that water has a density of 1.000g/cm3 and
that effects caused by the wire suspending the coin are negligible.

If you are diving 20.0m below the surface of the ocean (density of 1.030 g/cc). What is the guage pressure
at that depth? What is the absolute pressure? Note that the atmospheric pressure of air is 101,325 Pa.

ASNWER: Guage pressure = 201,880 Pa

Absolute pressure = 303,205 Pa

One piston in a hydraulic lift has an area that is twice the area of the other. When the pressure at the
