68. During forced exhalation, such as when blowing up a balloon, the diaphragm and chest muscles create a pressure of 60.0 mm Hg between the lungs and chest wall. What force in newtons does this pressure create on the 600 cm^2 surface area of the diaphragm? (answer in N)

Respuesta :

Answer:

F = 4798 N

Explanation:

The definition of pressure is the relationship between the force and the area over which it is applied.

         P = F / A

Where P is the pressure, F the force and A area

The force is expressed in many common units between this mmhg, let's put this under pressure

        P = ρ g h

        P = 1.36 10⁴ 9.8  60 10³

        P = 7996.8 Pa

Let's reduce the area to SI units

         A = 600 cm² (1m / 100 cm)² = 0.6 m²

We clear the initial equation

         F = P A

         F = 7996.8 0.600

         F = 4798 N
