Answer:

The diameter of the needle is <u>4.675 cm</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Volume flow rate is, \dot V=103\ cm^3

Velocity of air expelled by pump is, v=6\ cm/s

Let the area of the needle be 'A' cm² and the diameter be 'd' cm.

We know that, volume flow rate of the air expelled by pump is given as the product of the needle's area and velocity of air flowing through that area.

Therefore, volume flow rate is given as:

\dot V=A\times v\\\\103=A\times 6\\\\6A=103\\\\A=\frac{103}{6}\ cm^2

Now, considering the needle to be circular, area of the needle can be written as:

A=\frac{\pi}{4}\times d^2\\\\\frac{103}{6}=\frac{\pi}{4}\times d^2\\\\d^2=\frac{103\times 4}{6\pi}\\\\d=\sqrt{\frac{103\times 4}{6\pi}}\\\\d=4.675\ cm

Therefore, the diameter of the needle is 4.675 cm.

Gate-control theory

<h3>What is Gate-control theory?</h3>

According to the Gate Control Theory of Pain, the spinal cord has a system that allows pain signals to be amplified in the brain before being processed at the spinal cord itself, or attenuated there. 

The mechanism that allows or prevents the passage of pain signals is known as the gate. The gate may be open or it may be closed, one of two possibilities: 

  • When the gate is open, pain signals can enter and are delivered to the brain, where they are perceived as pain.
  • If the gate is closed, pain signals will be prevented from ascending to the brain and won't be felt.

The administration of a non-noxious (soothing or light rubbing) stimulus can help engage the gate control mechanism and alleviate pain in those who are exposed to painful (noxious) stimuli.

The ability of water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and water's ability to dissolve substances that
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The ability of water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and water's ability to dissolve substances that have charges or partial charges are <u>due to water's partial charges.</u>

Explanation:

The partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on hydrogen enables them to make hydrogen bond and also makes it to dissolve the the other substances having partial charges.
