A full-term fetus typically has a mass of\[{\rm{3}}{\rm{.50 kg}}\]. (a) What pressure does the weight of such a foetus create if it rests on the mother’s bladder, supported on an area of\[{\rm{90}}{\rm{.0 c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}\]? (b) Convert this pressure to millimetres of mercury and determine if it alone is great enough to trigger the micturition reflex (it will add to any pressure already existing in the bladder).
Referring to Figure , prove that the buoyant force on the cylinder is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced (Archimedes’ principle). You may assume that the buoyant force is and that the ends of the cylinder have equal areas A. Note that the volume of the cylinder (and that of the fluid it displaces) equals .
More force is required to pull the plug in a full bathtub than when it is empty. Does this contradict Archimedes’ principle? Explain your answer.
Calculate the ratio of the heights to which water and mercury are raised by capillary action in the same glass tube.
Assuming bicycle tires are perfectly flexible and support the weight of bicycle and rider by pressure alone, calculate the total area of the tires in contact with the ground. The bicycle plus rider has a mass of, and the gauge pressure in the tires is.
