Certain cancers, especially those of the liver, can be treated by injecting small glass spheres (30 to 35 μm in diameter) contai
ning radioactive 90Y into the tumor. The spheres become lodged in the small capillaries of the tumor, both cutting off its blood supply and delivering a high dose of radiation which damages the tumor, hope-fully sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The spheres stay in place until the radioactivity has completely de-cayed. 90Y undergoes beta-minus decay with a half-life of 64 h; the energy released in the decay is carried away by the beta particle, which has a kinetic energy 0.94 MeV.
a) What is the daughter nucleus for the 90Y decay?
b) The activity is measured when the spheres are prepared; the patient is to be injected 12 days later. If the patient is to be injected with spheres of total activity 1.0 GBq, what should be the approximate activity of the spheres at the time of preparation?
c) Spheres are injected into a liver with a 500 g tumor mass. If the total activity of the spheres administered is 1.0 GBq, and all of the energy deposited ends up in the tumor, what is the dose equivalent in Sv once all of the nuclei have decayed?

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>The amount of force applied on perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The unit of it is pascal.
According to bernaulli's theorem theorem
P+1/2pV²+pgy = constant
where p fluid density
g is acceleration due to gravity, pressure at elevation,v is Velocity at elevation ,y is height of elevation.
As there are two tubes then the height of tube 1 is equal to height of tube two .
