Question

Suppose that while immersed your patient breathes through a thin tube. If the maximum pressure difference your patient's lungs can manage and still breathe is 10,000 Pa, what is the maximum depth to which your patient can be immersed?

Suppose that while immersed your patient breathes through a thin tube. If the maximum pressure difference your patient's lungs can manage and still breathe is 10,000 , what is the maximum depth to which your patient can be immersed?

a. 0.01 m b. 1 m c. 0.1 m d. 10 m Hydrostatic weighing, or "underwater weighing," is used to measure a patient's body composition. To do this measurement, the patient is weighed while standing on a regular scale and then weighed while immersed in water. By comparing these weights, the density and body fat percentage of a patient can be recorded. The weight of your patient on a regular scale is 640 Nand while immersed in water is 90 N. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and assume that g 10 m/s2

Explanation / Answer

1)

given maximum pressure difference = 10000

so

density x g x h = 10000

h = 10m ( option d)
