A 78.5-kg man floats in freshwater with 3.2% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 4.85% of his volume above w

ater when his lungs are full.
Required:
a. Calculate the volume of air he inhales - called his lung capacity - in liters.
b. Does this lung volume seem reasonable?

Answer:

A) V_air = 1.295 L

B) Volume is not reasonable

Explanation:

A) Let;

m be total mass of the man

m_p be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water because of the buoyant force that pulled out of the lung

m_3 be the mass above the water with the empty lung

m_5 be the mass above the water with full lung

F_b be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung

V_a be the volume of air inside man's lungs

w_p be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.

Now, we are given;

m = 78.5 kg

m_3 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.512 kg

m_5 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.80725 kg

Now, m_p = m_5 - m_3

m_p = 3.80725 - 2.512

m_p = 1.29525 kg

From archimedes principle, we have the formula for buoyant force as;

F_b = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)

Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Thus;

F_b = w_p = 1.29525 × 9.81

F_b = 12.7064 N

As earlier said,

F_b = (ρ_water × V_air × g)

Thus;

V_air = F_b/(ρ_water × × g)

V_air = 12.7064/(1000 × 9.81)

V_air = 1.295 × 10^(-3) m³

We want to convert to litres;

1 m³ = 1000 L

Thus;

V_air = 1.295 × 10^(-3) × 1000

V_air = 1.295 L

B) From research, the average lung capacity of an adult human being is 6 litres of air.

Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable

The 10-kg uniform rod is pinned at end
Anton [14]
Supposing that the spring is un stretched when θ = 0, and has a toughness of k = 60 N/m.It seems that the spring has a roller support on the left end. This would make the spring force direction always to the left 
Sum moments about the pivot to zero. 
10.0(9.81)[(2sinθ)/2] + 50 - 60(2sinθ)[2cosθ] = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)2sinθcosθ = 0 98.1sinθ + 50 - (120)sin(2θ) = 0 
by iterative answer we discover that 
θ ≈ 0.465 radians 
θ ≈ 26.6º

What will police do with witnesses at the scene?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Speaking to witnesses is a job they do. If anyone stops after seeing the accident occur, the officers who respond to the accident take their personal information, they get their contact information, and they add their statements to their report.

The KEOM tower across the street from West is approx. 155 meters high
blondinia [14]

You told your insane friend that it will take the book 5.6 s to get to the ground.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (H) = 155 m

<h3>Time (t) =? </h3>

<u>NOTE</u>: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

The time taken for the book to get to ground can be obtained as follow:

<h3>H = ½gt²</h3>

155 = ½ × 10 × t²

155 = 5 × t²

<h3>Divide both side by 5</h3>

t^{2}  = \frac{155}{5}\\\\

t² = 31

<h3>Take the square root of both side </h3>

t = \sqrt{31}

<h3>t = 5.6 s</h3>

Thus, the time taken for the book to get to the ground is 5.6 s

Hence, you told your insane friend that it will take the book 5.6 s to get to the ground.
