Qualitative Questions: 1. The diagram shows a reservoir wall. Why is the wall thicker at the bottom than at the top? Two reservoirs of the same depth are to be joined to form a single much larger reservoir. Is it necessary to reinforce the dam wall? 2. You are about to set out on a scuba diving trip, and are having a medical check. The doctor measures your blood pressure to be a healthy120/80 mmHg. The 120 mmHg is the maximum pressure at the peak of each pulse, called the systole, and the 80 mmHg is the lowest pressure between pulses, called the diastole. Given that normal atmospheric pressure is around 760 mmHg, why does blood spurt from a deep cut? You check the weather report, and it’s going to be a fine weekend, with a high pressure front of 102 kPa bringing warm weather. You pack up and head off. You check your tyre pressure when you fill up with petrol, and inflate them to 25 psi (17.2 kPa). Which of the pressures given above are absolute and which are gauge pressures? You arrive at the diving class and are issued with instructions and equipment. Why does the diving instructor tell you not to hold your breath when surfacing? Why are you issued with lead belts and inflatable packets? B. Activity Questions: Suction cups and Magdeburg plates How can you make the suction cup stick to a surface? Explain what happens when it sticks and when it fails to stick. When are the Magdeburg plates hard to pull apart? When are t
