Equation of Continuity

An arteriole has a diameter of 0.028 mm and carries at the rate of 5.9 10-6 cm3/s .

(a) What is the speed of the blood in the arteriole ?

(b) Suppose the arteriole branches into 340 capillaries , each with a diameter of 4.0 10-6 m . What is the blood speed in the capillaries ?( The low speed in capillaries promotes the diffusion of materials to and from the blood . )

You need to siphon water from a clogged sink . The sink has an area of 0.371 m^2 and is filled to a height of h = 3.94 cm . Your siphon tube rises h1 = 55.9 cm above the water in the sink and then descends h2 = 116 cm to a pail as seen in the figure below at “click here” . The siphon tube has a diameter of 2.13 cm . Assuming that the water enters the siphon tube with almost zero velocity , calculate its velocity when it enters the pail .

The figure which is shown at “click here” are six containers that contain various liquids . Blocks of various solids are suspended in the liquids by being hung from a string . All of these blocks are the same size , but they have different masses (labeled as M_b)since they are made of different materials . All of the containers have the same volume of liquid , but the masses of these liquids vary(labeled M_1) since the liquids are different . Specific values for the masses of the blocks and the liquids are given in each figure .

Note: The volume of the blocks is one-fifth the volume of the liquids .

Which of the following statement are true about the situations depicted in the figure?

True or false – The block in picture A experiences a greater buoyant force than the block in picture C .

True or false – If the string is cut , the block in picture A would sink

True or false – All the blocks displace the same mass of liquid

True or false – The block in picture A displaces less volume of liquid than the block in picture F .

True or false –In picture A , the density of the block is equal to the density of the liquid .
