(I) If the force \(F\) needed to move the wire in Fig. 10鈥34 is \(3.4 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{N}}\), calculate the surface tension \(\gamma \) of the enclosed fluid. Assume \(l = 0.070\;m\).
Why don鈥檛 ships made of the iron sink?
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?
Beaker A is filled to the brim with water. Beaker B is the same size and contains a small block of wood that floats when the beaker is filled with water to the brim. Which beaker weighs more?
(a) Beaker A.
(b) Beaker B.
(c) The same for both
