Answer:

Negative intrapleural pressure is the correct answer

Explanation:

Intrapleural pressure is more subatmospheric in the uppermost part of the thorax than in the lowermost parts in the standing horse.

Air moves from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure.  Therefore, for air to be moved into or out of the lungs, a pressure difference between the atmosphere and the alveoli must be established. If there is no pressure difference, no airflow will occur.

Under normal circumstances, inspiration is accomplished by causing alveolar pressure to fall below atmospheric pressure. When the mechanics of breathing are being discussed, atmospheric pressure is conventionally referred to as 0 cm H2O, so lowering alveolar pressure below atmospheric pressure is known as negative-pressure breathing.

Answer:

Wc = 7.84    weight of crown

Ww = 7.84 - 6.86 = .98       weight of water displaced

Density = 7.84 / .98 = 8     crown is 8 X that of water

Since gold has a density of 19.3 that of water the crown is certainly not 100 percent (if any) gold

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Efficiency = \frac {240}{300} * 100

Efficiency = 0.8 * 100

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore, the mechanical efficiency of the machine is 80 percent.

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h
BartSMP [9]
Specific Gravity of the fluid = 1.25 
Height h = 28 in
 Atmospheric Pressure = 12.7 psia
 Density of water = 62.4 lbm/ft^3 at 32F
 Density of the Fluid = Specific Gravity of the fluid x Density of water = 1.25 x 62.4
 Density of the Fluid p = 78 lbm/ft^3
 Difference in pressure as we got the differential height, dP = p x g x h  dP = (78 lbm/ft^3) x (32.174 ft/s^2) x (28/12 ft) [ 1 lbf / 32.174 ft/s^2] [1 ft^2 /
144in^2]
 Difference in pressure = 1.26 psia
 (a) Pressure in the arm that is at Higher 
 P = Atmospheric Pressure - Pressure difference = 12.7 - 1.26 = 11.44 psia
 (b) Pressure in the tank that is at Lower
 P = Atmospheric Pressure + Pressure difference = 12.7 + 1.26 = 13.96psia
