uploaded imageA meat baster consists of a squeeze bulb attached to a plastic tube. When the bulb is squeezed and released, with the open end of the tube under the surface of the basting sauce, the sauce rises in the tube to a distance h, as the drawing shows. Using 1.013 × 105 Pa for the atmospheric pressure and 1470 kg/m3 for the density of the sauce, find the absolute pressure PB in the bulb when the distance h is (a) 0.20 m and (b) 0.12 m.



(a) PB =
(b) PB =

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a)

In the first trail \(h=0.20 \mathrm{~m}\) Upward Pressure due to sauce, \(P=h \rho g\)

$$ \begin{array}{l} =(0.20 \mathrm{~m})\left(1470 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\left(9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right) \\ =2881.2 \mathrm{~Pa} \end{array} $$

So total pressure in the bulb is \(=P_{0}-P\)

$$ \begin{array}{l} =\left(1.013 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\right)-\left(0.028812 \times 10^{5}\right) \mathrm{Pa} \\ =0.9842 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa} \\ =9.842 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~Pa} \end{array} $$

(b)

In the second trail \(\quad h=0.12 \mathrm{~m}\) Upward Pressure due to sauce, \(P=h \rho g\)

$$ \begin{array}{l} =(0.12 \mathrm{~m})\left(1470 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\left(9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right) \\ =1728.72 \mathrm{~Pa} \\ =0.017287 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa} \end{array} $$

So total pressure on the bulb is \(=P_{0}-P\)

$$ \begin{array}{l} =\left(1.013 \times 10^{5}\right)-\left(0.017287 \times 10^{5}\right) \mathrm{Pa} \\ =0.9957 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa} \end{array} $$

A basic electrical circuit consists of a battery, a light bulb, a switch and wires connecting them. As soon as the switch is closed, even the light bulb is one mile away, the light bulb will be on IMMEDIATELY.  This means that the electrical current (made of moving electrons) starts to run everywhere in the wire as soon as the switch is closed. Explain: a) the origin of these free moving electrons (where do they come from), b) the force(s) that...
