Answer:

26.9 Pa

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the continuity equation, which states that the volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe must be constant; mathematically:

A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 (1)

where

A_1 is the cross-sectional area of the 1st section of the pipe

A_2 is the cross-sectional area of the 2nd section of the pipe

v_1 is the velocity of the 1st section of the pipe

v_2 is the velocity of the 2nd section of the pipe

In this problem we have:

v_1=0.15 m/s is the velocity of blood in the 1st section

The diameter of the 2nd section is 74% of that of the 1st section, so

d_2=0.74d_1

The cross-sectional area is proportional to the square of the diameter, so:

A_2=(0.74)^2 A_1=0.548 A_1

And solving eq.(1) for v2, we find the final velocity:

v_2=\frac{A_1 v_1}{A_2}=\frac{A_1 (0.15)}{0.548 A_1}=0.274 m/s

Now we can use Bernoulli's equation to find the pressure drop:

p_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

where

\rho=1025 kg/m^3 is the blood density

p_1,p_2 are the initial and final pressure

So the pressure drop is:

p_1 - p_2 = \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)=\frac{1}{2}(1025)(0.274^2-0.15^2)=26.9 Pa

How many moles of N2O5 are needed to produce 7.90 g of NO2 <br><br> 2N2O5 = 4NO2 + O2
Furkat [3]
From the chemical eqn 
No of moles of N2O5 = Mass/ molar mass 
Molar mass = (14* 2) + (16 *5) = 28 + 90 = 118g. 
From the chemical equation 7.9g of NO2 reacts with 7.9 *2 g of N2O5. We have a 1 :2 mole ratio. Hence mass of N2O5 = 14.8g 
No of moles = 14.8/ 118 = 0.133 moles.

12. A flat circular coil of wire having 200 turns and diameter 6.0 cm carries a current of 7.0 A. It is placed in a magnetic fie
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil is 1.98 A.m²

Explanation:

Magnitude of magnetic torque in a flat circular coil is given as;

τ = NIASinθ

where;

N is the number of turns of the coil

I is the current in the coil

A is the area of the coil

θ is the angle of inclination of the coil and magnetic field

Given'

Number of turns, N = 200

Current, I = 7.0 A

Angle of inclination, θ = 30°

Diameter, d = 6 cm = 0.06 m

A = πd²/4 = π(0.06)²/4  = 0.002828 m²

τ = NIASinθ

τ = 200 x 7 x 0.002828 x Sin30

τ = 1.98 A.m²

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil is 1.98 A.m²
