A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density the same as that of the water. Suppose that with its air sacs collapsed, a fish has a density of1.08g/cm3. To what fraction of its expanded body volume must the fish inflate the air sacs to reduce its density to that of water?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The fraction of its expanded body volume that the fish must inflate the air sacs to reduce its density to that of water is 7.4%

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Density of fish,=1.08g/cm3

Density of water,=1.00g/cm3

02

Understanding the concept of density

The density is inversely proportional to that of the volume of a body. Using this formula of density and volume, we can write two expressions for the mass of fish in terms of the density of water and fish. Equating these two equations, we can find the required ratioVaV+Va.

Formula:

Density of a material,=MV 鈥(颈)

03

Calculation for fraction of volume of body of fish

Let the volume of expanded air sacs be Vaand the volume of fish with its air sacs collapsed be V.

Using equation (i),

fish=mfishV=1.08g/cm3 鈥(颈颈)

pw=mfishV+Va=1.00g/cm3 鈥(颈颈颈)

where,pwis the density of water.

Using equation (ii) & (iii), we can write

role="math" localid="1657254700810" mfish=fishV=1.08g/cm3.V 鈥(颈惫)

mfish=wV+Va=1.00g/cm3.V+Va 鈥(惫)

Again, by comparing equations (iv) and (v), we get

fishV=wV+Vafishw=V+VaVV+VaV=1.081.00V+Va=1.08VVa=1.08-1V=0.08V

Substituting the value Vaof, we get

VV+Va=0.081.08=0.074=7.4%

Hence, the fraction of volume of the body of fish inside water is 7.4%.

Blood pressure in Argentinosaurus. (a) If this longnecked, gigantic sauropod had a head height of 21 mand a heart height of9.0m,what (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in its blood was required at the heart such that the blood pressure at the brain was 80 torr (just enough to perfuse the brain with blood)? Assume the blood had a density of1.06103KG/M3. (b) What was the blood pressure (in torror mm Hg) at the feet?

When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snorkel tube and thus are at atmospheric pressure 1) In atmospheres, what is the differencepbetween this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is 20 cm (standard situation) &2) In atmospheres, what is the differencepbetween this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is 4.0m(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 Figure, an elephant can safely snorkel through its trunk while swimming with its lungsbelow the water surface because the membrane around its lungs contains connective tissue that holds and protects the blood vessels, preventing rupturing.

Figure shows two sections of an old pipe system that runs through a hill, with distances dA=dB=30mand D=110 m. On each side of the hill, the pipe radius is 2.00 cm. However, the radius of the pipe inside the hill is no longer known. To determine it, hydraulic engineers first establish that water flows through the left and right sections at 2.50 m/s. Then they release a dye in the water at point A and find that it takes 88.8 sto reach point B.

What is the average radius of the pipe within the hill?

Question: To suck lemonade of density 1000 kg / m3up a straw to a maximum height of 4.0 cm , what minimum gauge pressure (in atmospheres) must you produce in your lungs?
