A block of aluminum that has dimensions \(2.00 \mathrm{cm}\) by \(3.00 \mathrm{cm}\) by \(5.00 \mathrm{cm}\) is suspended from a spring scale. (a) What is the weight of the block? (b) What is the scale reading when the block is submerged in oil with a density of \(850 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3} ?\)
A nurse applies a force of \(4.40 \mathrm{N}\) to the piston of a syringe. The piston has an area of \(5.00 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{m}^{2} .\) What is the pressure increase in the fluid within the syringe?
Scuba divers are admonished not to rise faster than their air bubbles when rising to the surface. This rule helps them avoid the rapid pressure changes that cause the bends. Air bubbles of 1.0 mm radius are rising from a scuba diver to the surface of the sea. Assume a water temperature of \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (a) If the viscosity of the water is \(1.0 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Pa} \cdot \mathrm{s},\) what is the terminal velocity of the bubbles? (b) What is the largest rate of pressure change tolerable for the diver according to this rule?
