When you hold your hands at your sides, you may have noticed that the veins sometimes bulge--the height difference between your

heart and your hands produces increased pressure in the veins. The same thing happens in the arteries. If the average arterial pressure at your heart is a typical 100 mmHg, what is the average arterial pressure in your hands when they are held at your side? Assume your hands are 60 cm below your heart.

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to pressure and pressure, absolute and atmospheric.

Average arterial pressure in the hands,

P = 100mmHg+ h*\rho_{blood}g

Where,

P = Pressure

h = height (at this case the length of the arm)

Replacing with our values

P = 100mm(Hg)+(600mm)(\frac{\rho_{blood}}{\rho_{mercury}})(Hg)

P = 100mmHg+600*\frac{1060}{13600}mmHg

P = 100mmHg+46.765mmHg

P = 146.765mmHg

Where,

\rho_{blood} = 1060Kg/m^3

\rho_{mercury}=13600Kg/m^3

Therefore the pressure is 146.765mmHg

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ω2  =  216.47 rad/s

Explanation:

given data

radius r1 =  460 mm

radius r2 = 46 mm

ω =  32k rad/s

solution

we know here that power generated by roller that  is

power = T. ω    ..............1

power = F × r × ω

and this force of roller on cylinder is equal and opposite force apply by roller

so power transfer equal in every cylinder so

( F × r1 × ω1)  ÷ 2 = (  F × r2 × ω2 )  ÷  2    ................2

so

ω2  =  \frac{460\times 32}{34\times 2}

ω2  =  216.47

answer;

The hole in the center of the washer will expand

explanation;

<em>A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? A flat metal washer is heated. As the washer's temperature increases, what happens to the hole in the center? The hole in the center will remain the same size. Changes in the hole cannot be determined without know the composition of the metal. The hole in the center of the washer will expand. The hole in the center of the washer will contract.</em>

this is an example of area expansivity.

coefficient of area expansivity is change in area per area per degree rise in temperature

a=dA/(A*dt)

as the temperature rises , there will be volumetric and area expansivity on the body. volume also increases because of the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecule is now getting apart.
