Chapter 14: Q. 5 (page 383)

In FIGURE Q14.5, is pA larger than, smaller than, or equal to pB? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

Pressure on both points are equal. so pA = pB

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Two points A and B is shown in the diagram below.

02

Explanation

The pressure of liquid depends on the density and depth below the surface and atmospheric pressure.

P = h蟻g + Atmospheric pressure.

Where

P = pressure

h = depth of point from the surface or opening

蟻 = density of liquid

g = gravitational acceleration

In this case both will have same height so pressure will remain same.

The floating ship will not impact the pressure on the point below. The weight of ship will be countered by buoyant force.

So pA = pB.

Postural hypotension is the occurrence of low systolic blood pressure when a person stands up too quickly from a reclining position. A brain blood pressure lower than 90mmof Hgcan cause fainting or lightheadedness. In a healthy adult, the automatic constriction and expansion of blood vessels keep the brain blood pressure constant while posture is changing, but disease or aging can weaken this response. If the blood pressure in your brain is 118mmof Hgwhile lying down, what would it be when you stand up if this automatic response failed? Assume your brain is 40cmfrom your heart and the density of blood is1060kg/m3.
