You would want to increase the temperature.
<span>9000 Pascals
Looking on the internet, it appears that a human can only suck about 3 feet of water. So let's convert that measurement into a few more convenient units.
cmH2O = 36 * 2.54 = 91.44 cmH2O
cmHg = 91.44 * 0.73555912101486 = 67.26 mmHg
Pascal = 91.44 * 98.0665 = 8967 Pascals
PSI = 91.44 * 0.0142233 = 1.3 psi
Since we're dealing with science and the metric system is the most common system used in science, I'd recommend an answer of 9000 Pascals.</span>
If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:
∑ τ = 0
Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:
• at the left end,
τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m
• at the right end,
τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m
• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,
τ = + (300 N) d
Then
∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0
⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m
⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m
