3–102 One of the common procedures in fitness programs is to determine the fat-to-muscle ratio of the body. This is based on the

principle that the muscle tissue is denser than the fat tissue, and, thus, the higher the average density of the body, the higher is the fraction of muscle tissue. The average density of the body can be determined by weighing the person in air and also while submerged in water in a tank. Treating all tissues and bones (other than fat) as muscle with an equivalent density of ???? muscle. Obtain a relation for the volume fraction of body fat xfat

Answer:

x_fat = [ 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) -  p_muscle*V ] / V*( p_fat - p_muscle )

Explanation:

Given:

- The total volume of body = V

- The average density of the body = p_avg

- The density of muscle = p_muscle

- The density of fat = p_fat

Find:

Obtain a relation for the volume fraction of body fat x_fat

Solution:

- The volume of the fat is given by:

                          V_fat = x_fat*V

- The volume of the muscle is given by:

                          V_muscle = V - V_fat

                                            = V - x_fat*V

                                            =V*( 1 - x_fat )

- We will use the conservation of mass for the body related as:

                         mass_fat + mass_muscle = Total average mass

                         p_fat*V_fat + p_muscle*V_muscle = p_avg*V

                         p_fat*x_fat*V + p_muscle*V*( 1 - x_fat ) = p_avg*V

                         p_fat*x_fat + p_muscle*( 1 - x_fat ) = p_avg

- To determine p_1 we weigh the body in air:

                         Weight reading (Wsa) = m = p_1*V

                         p_1 = Wsa / V*g

- To determine p_2 we weigh the body in water:

                         Weight reading (Wsw) = m - p_w*V= p_1*V - p_w*V

                         Weight reading (Wsw) = V*(p_1 - p_w) = V*(p_2)

                         Where, p_2 = p_1 - p_water

                         p_2 = Wsw / V

- The average density p_avg:

                         p_avg = 0.5*(p_1 + p_2)  

                         p_avg = 0.5*(Wsa / V + Wsw / V)  

                         p_avg = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V                      

- Plug in the mass equation:

                         p_fat*x_fat + p_muscle*( 1 - x_fat ) = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V

                         x_fat*( p_fat - p_muscle ) = 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) / V - p_muscle

                   x_fat = [ 0.5*(Wsa + Wsw) -  p_muscle*V ] / V*( p_fat - p_muscle )

Stream Piracy – Kaaterskill, NY. Check and double-click the Problem 15 folder. The dark blue and orange streams highlight the pr
baherus [9]

Answer:

b. The pirating streams are eroding headwardly to intersect more of the other streams’ drainage basins, causing water to be diverted down their steeper gradients.

Explanation:

From the Kaaterskill NY 15 minute map (1906), this shows two classic examples of stream capture.

The Kaaterskill Creek flow down the east relatively steep slopes into the Hudson River Valley. While, the Gooseberry Creek is a low gradient stream flowing down the west direction which in turn drains the higher parts of the Catskills in this area.

However, there is Headward erosion of Kaaterskill Creek which resulted to the capture of part of the headwaters of Gooseberry Creek.

The evidence for this is the presence of "barbed" (enters at obtuse rather than acute angle) tributary which enters Kaaterskill Creek from South Lake which was once a part of the Gooseberry Creek drainage system.

It should be noted again, that there is drainage divide between the Gooseberry and Kaaterskill drainage systems (just to the left of the word Twilight) which is located in the center of the valley.

As it progresses, this divide will then move westward as Kaaterskill captures more and more of the Gooseberry system.

The local atmospheric pressure is measured with a water barometer. If the water column is measured to be 30 ft, what is the atmo
ella [17]

Answer:

The atmospheric pressure in atm=0.885 atm

Explanation:

Given that

Local pressure (h)= 30 ft of water height     ( 1 ft= 0.3048 m)

We know that pressure in given by

  P=ρgh

We know that ρ of water is 1000\dfrac{kg}{m^3}

So pressure

P=1000(9.81)(9.144)

P=89.7026 \dfrac{N}{m^2}

We know that 1000 Pa=0.00986 atm

So P=0.885 atm

The atmospheric pressure in atm=0.885 atm
