Pressure and density 2.

A person sucking hard on a thin tube can reduce the pressure in it


to 90% of atmospheric pressure. How high can the person suck water up the tube?

Variation of pressure in fluid at rest 4. The sewer outlets of a house constructed


on a slope are 8.16 m below street level, find the minimum pressure differential
that must be created by the sewage pump to transfer waste of average density
926 kg/m3

Pascals principle 8. A lever with a mechanical advantage of 6 is attached to the pump


piston of a hydraulic press. The area of the pump piston is 1.2 in2 and that of the
output piston is 18 in2. A) If the press is 75% efficient, find the force the output
piston exerts when a force of 30 lbs is applied to the pump lever. B) If each
stroke of the lever moves the pump piston 1 inch, how many strokes are needed to
move the output piston 8 inches? 

Archimedes principle 10. A steel tank whose capacity is 200 liters has a mass of 36
kg. 
A) Will it float in seawater when empty? 
B)  When filled with gasoline?

Archimedes principle 13. A sphere of buoyant, solid molded foam is immersed in


seawater and moored at the bottom. If the sphere’s radius is 14 inches and the
mooring line has a tension of 150 lbs, what is the mass density of the sphere?

Archimedes
1. An iron anchor weighs 600 lbs in air. How much force is needed to lift the
anchor when it is submerged in seawater?
