The aorta is approximately 25 mm in diameter. The mean pressure there is about 100 mmHg and the blood flows through the aorta at

approximately 60 cm/s. Suppose that at a certain point a portion of the aorta is blocked so that the cross-sectional area is reduced to 3/4 of its original area. The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3.
(a) How fast is the blood moving just as it enters the blocked portion of the aorta? (in cm/s)

(b) What is the gauge pressure (in mmHg) of the blood just as it has entered the blocked portion of the aorta? (in mmHg)

Answer:

Explanation:

25 mm diameter

r₁  = 12.5 x 10⁻³ m radius.

cross sectional area =  a₁

Pressure P₁  = 100 x 10⁻³ x 13.6 x 9.8 Pa

a )

velocity of blood v₁ = .6 m /s

Cross sectional area at blockade = 3/4 a₁

Velocity at blockade area = v₂

As liquid is in-compressible

a₁v₁ = a₂v₂

a₁ x .6 m /s  = 3/4 a₁ v₂

v₂ = .8m/s

b )

Applying Bernauli's theorem formula

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² =  P₂ +  1/2 ρv₂²

100 x 10⁻³ x 13.6 x10³x 9.8 + 1/2 X 1060 x .6² = P₂ +  1/2x 1060 x .8²

13328 +190.8 = P₂ + 339.2

P₂ = 13179.6 Pa

= 13179 / 13.6 x 10³ x 9.8 m of Hg

P₂ =  .09888 m of Hg

98.88 mm of Hg

What is the value of (g) at north pole and at equator?
iVinArrow [24]
At the north pole:
       9.832 m/s²
     32.258 ft/s²

At the equator:
      9.780 m/s²
    32.088 ft/s² 

It's about  0.532%  greater at the pole than at the equator.

A large person who weighs 200 pounds on the equator
would weigh  1 pound 1 ounce more at the pole.
(Even more if he was properly dressed for it !)

The three-toed sloth is the slowest moving land mammal. On the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.037 m/s, conside
Georgia [21]

Answer:

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth is 28.08 m further

Explanation:

given data

average speed v1 = 0.037 m/s

walking speed v2 = 0.076 m/s

time t = 12 min = 720 seconds

to find out

how much tortoise have gone wrt sloth

solution

we find here first tortoise walk that is

distance d1 = v2 × t

distance d1 =  0.076  × 720

distance d1 = 54.72 m

and sloth walk distance

distance d2 = v1 × t

distance d2 = 0.037 × 720

distance d2 = 26.64 m

and so

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth = d1 - d2

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth = 54.72 - 26.64 = 28.08

tortoise distance w.r.t sloth is 28.08 m further
