A doctor has a patient blow on one side of a U-shaped tube that is partially
filled with water and has a ball floating on the other side, as shown in the
image below. If the ball rises with a force of 200 N, what pressure did the
patient apply to his side of the tube?

Sagot :

Answer: 100,000 Pa

Explanation:

[tex]$Applied Force $=200 \mathrm{~N}$ \\Area $=0.002 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$\\\\Pressure $=\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Area }}$\\$=\frac{200}{0.002}$\\$=\frac{200}{2 \times 10^{-3}}$\\$=100,000 \mathrm{~Pa}$[/tex]
