Chapter 14: Q. 9 (page 383)

A 50-cm-thick layer of oil floats on a 120-cm-thick layer of water. What is the pressure at the bottom of the water layer?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Total pressure at the bottom of the water is 117 Kpa

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A 50-cm-thick layer of oil floats on a 120-cm-thick layer of water.

02

Explanation

Total pressure exerted is sum of pressure exerted by oil , water and atmospheric pressure

That means

PTotal = Po + Poil+ PWater

Po = 101 kPa

Poil = hoil 蚁oil g

PWater = hWater 蚁Water g

蚁Water = 1000 kg/m3

蚁oil = 870 kg/ m3

Now substitute the value and get PTotal

PTotal = 101 kPa + ( 0.5 m x 870 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2) + ( 1.2 m x 1000 kg/m3 x 9.8 m/s2)

PTotal = 117 kPa

A 2.0mLsyringe has an inner diameter of 6.0mm, a needle inner diameter of 0.25mm, and a plunger pad diameter (where you place your finger) of 1.2cm. A nurse uses the syringe to inject medicine into a patient whose blood pressure is 140/100.

A. What is the minimum force the nurse needs to apply to the syringe?

B. The nurse empties the syringe in 2.0s. What is the flow speed of the medicine through the needle?

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.
