During typical urination, a man releases about 400 mL of urine in about 30 seconds through the urethra, which we can model as a tube 4.0 mm in diameter and 20 cm long. Assume that urine has the same density as water, and that viscosity can be ignored for this flow. What is the flow speed in the urethra? If we assume that the fluid is released at the same height as the bladder and that the fluid is at rest in the bladder (a reasonable approximation), what bladder pressure would be necessary to produce this flow? (In fact, there are additional factors that require additional pressure; the actual pressure is higher than this.)

championship swimmers take about 22 seconds and about 30 arm strokes to move through the water in a 50 meter freestyle race. A) A swimmers metabolic power is 800 W. if the efficiency for swimming is 25%, how much energy is expended moving through the water in a 50 m race? B) if half the energy is used in arm motion and half in leg motion, what is the energy expenditure per arm stroke? C) Model the swimmers hand as...

Manufacturing Ltd. (ML) discontinued use of three assets during 20X2:a. A specialized piece of equipment that originally cost $200,000 when purchased was shut down and placed in the far corner of the manufacturing facility on 30 June. It is being depreciated over 20 years on a straight line basis. The carrying value (i.e., the net book value) was $50,000 at the beginning of 20X2. ML has no plans to use the equipment in the future since it was designed to...
