(II) An open-tube mercury manometer measures the pressure in an oxygen tank. When the atmospheric pressure is 1040 m bar, what is the absolute pressure (in Pa) in the tank if the height of the mercury in the open tube is (a) 18.5cm higher, (b) 5.6cm lower than the mercury in the tube connected to the tank? See Fig. 10鈥7a.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The absolute pressure is 129 x 103 Pa.

(b) The absolute pressure is 9.6 x 104 Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the fluid pressure in a manometer

In a manometer, the change in pressure at a place is determined by the height of the reading in the curved open and straight end.

02

Given the data

The atmospheric pressure is Patm = 1040m bar.

The mercury at the open end is h = 18.5 cm higher in the first case.

The mercury at the open end is h' = 5.6cm lower in the first case.

03

Calculation of absolute pressure in the tank

The density of mercury is 蟻 = 13.6 x 103 kg/m3.

Here, g =9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

The atmospheric pressure is calculated as,

\begin{aligned}{P_{atm}}=1040\;{\rm{mbar}}\times\frac{{{{10}^{-3}}\;{\rm{bar}}}}{{1\;{\rm{mbar}}}}\\{P_{atm}}=1040\times{10^{-3}}\;{\rm{bar}}\\{P_{atm}}=1040\times{10^{-3}}\;{\rm{bar}}\times\frac{{1\;{\rm{Pa}}}}{{{{10}^{-5}}\;{\rm{bar}}}}\\{P_{atm}}=1040\times{10^2}\;{\rm{Pa}}\end{aligned}

The absolute pressure at higher than the normal height is,

\begin{aligned}P'={P_{atm}}+h rho g\\=\left({1040\times{{10}^2}\;{\rm{Pa}}}\right)+\left({18.5\times{{10}^{-2}}\;{\rm{m}}}\right)\times\left({13.6\times{{10}^3}\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}}\right)\times\left({9.8\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}\right)\\\approx129\times{10^3}\;{\rm{Pa}}\end{aligned}

Hence, the absolute pressure is 129 x 103 Pa.

04

Calculation of pressure at the depth 

The absolute pressure at lower than the normal height is,

P鈥欌 = patm 鈥 h鈥櫹乬

On plugging the values in the above relation.

Hence, the absolute pressure is 9.6 x 104 Pa.

A gardener feels it is taking too long to water a garden with a \(\frac{{\bf{3}}}{{\bf{8}}}\;{\bf{in}}\) diameter hose. By what factor will the time be cut using a \(\frac{{\bf{5}}}{{\bf{8}}}\;{\bf{in}}\) diameter hose instead? Assume nothing else is changed.

(I) Estimate the pressure needed to raise a column of water to the same height as a 46-m-tall pine tree.

(a) Show that the flow speed measured by a venturi meter (see Fig. 10-29) is given by the relation

\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ = }}{{\bf{A}}_{\bf{2}}}\sqrt {\frac{{{\bf{2}}\left( {{{\bf{P}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{P}}_{\bf{2}}}} \right)}}{{{\bf{\rho }}\left( {{\bf{A}}_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{2}}{\bf{ - A}}_{\bf{2}}^{\bf{2}}} \right)}}} \).

(b) A venturi meter is measuring the flow of water; it has a main diameter of \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.5\;cm}}\) tapering down to a throat diameter of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.0\;cm}}\). If the pressure difference is measured to be \({\bf{18\;mm - Hg}}\), what is the speed of the water entering the venturi throat?

Intravenous transfusions are often made under gravity, as shown in Fig. 10鈥55. Assuming the fluid has a density of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.00\;g/c}}{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{3}}}\)at what height h should the bottle be placed so the liquid pressure is (a) 52 mm-Hg, and (b) \({\bf{680\;mm - }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O?}}\)(c) If the blood pressure is 75 mm-Hg above atmospheric pressure, how high should the bottle be placed so that the fluid just barely enters the vein?

(I) What is the approximate mass of air in a living room 5.6脳 3.6脳 2.4m?
