Chapter 10: Q91GP (page 260)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force exerted by that ventricle at maximum pressure is \(130.8\;{\rm{N}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The area of inner surface of left ventricle is \(A = 82\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^2}\).

The maximum pressure is \(P = 120\;{\rm{mm - Hg}}\).

02

Understanding the relation of force and pressure

In this problem, the relation of force with pressure and cross-sectional area will be used to find the force exerted by the ventricle at maximum pressure.

03

Calculating the force exerted by the ventricle

The relation to find force is given by,

\(F = PA\)

On plugging the values in the above relation.

\(\begin{array}{l}F = \left( {120\;{\rm{mm - Hg}} \times \frac{{133\;{\rm{N/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{1\;{\rm{mm - Hg}}}}} \right)\left( {82\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^2} \times \frac{{1\;{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{10}^4}\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}} \right)\\F = 130.8\;{\rm{N}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the force exerted by that ventricle at maximum pressure is \(130.8\;{\rm{N}}\).

(II) If the base of an insect鈥檚 leg has a radius of about \(3.0 \times 1{0^{{\bf{ - }}5}}\;m\) and the insect鈥檚 mass is 0.016 g, would you expect the six-legged insect to remain on top of the water? Why or why not?

(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 \(l = 0.070\;m\).

In Fig. 10-54, take into account the speed of the top surface of the tank and show that the speed of fluid leaving an opening near the bottom is \({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ = }}\sqrt {\frac{{{\bf{2gh}}}}{{\left( {{\bf{1 - A}}_{\bf{1}}^{\bf{2}}{\bf{/A}}_{\bf{2}}^{\bf{2}}} \right)}}} \),

where \({\bf{h = }}{{\bf{y}}_{\bf{2}}} - {{\bf{y}}_{\bf{1}}}\), and \({{\bf{A}}_{\bf{1}}}\) and \({{\bf{A}}_{\bf{2}}}\) are the areas of the opening and of the top surface, respectively. Assume \({{\bf{A}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ < < }}{{\bf{A}}_{\bf{2}}}\) so that the flow remains nearly steady and laminar.

Figure 10-54

A fire hose exerts a force on the person holding it. This is because the water accelerates as it goes from the hose through the nozzle. How much force is required to hold a \({\bf{7}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)-diameter hose delivering \({\bf{420}}\;{\bf{L/min}}\)through a \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.75}}\;{\bf{cm}}\)-diameter nozzle?

(II) Poiseuille鈥檚 equation does not hold if the flow velocity is high enough that turbulence sets in. The onset of turbulence occurs when the Reynolds number, \(Re\) , exceeds approximately 2000. \(Re\) is defined as

\({\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} = \frac{{2\overline v r\rho }}{\eta }\)

where \(\overline v \) is the average speed of the fluid, \(\rho \) is its density, \(\eta \) is its viscosity, and \(r\) is the radius of the tube in which the fluid is flowing. (a) Determine if blood flow through the aorta is laminar or turbulent when the average speed of blood in the aorta \(\left( {{\bf{r = 0}}{\bf{.80}}\;{\bf{cm}}} \right)\) during the resting part of the heart鈥檚 cycle is about \({\bf{35}}\;{\bf{cm/s}}\). (b) During exercise, the blood-flow speed approximately doubles. Calculate the Reynolds number in this case, and determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent.
