An ice cube floats in a glass of water filled to the brim. What can you say about the density of ice? As the ice melts, will the water overflow? Explain
The contraction of the left ventricle (chamber) of the heart pumps blood to the body. Assuming that the inner surface of the left ventricle has an area of \({\bf{82}}\;{\bf{c}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\) and the maximum pressure in the blood is 120 mm-Hg, estimate the force exerted by that ventricle at maximum pressure.
