It is difficult to heal a wound on a mountain. Why? Explain.
(N/A) At high altitudes,the atmospheric pressure is significantly lower than at sea level. However,the internal blood pressure within the human body remains relatively constant. Due to this pressure difference,the outward pressure exerted by the blood is higher than the inward pressure exerted by the atmosphere. This imbalance makes it difficult for blood to clot effectively and for the wound to heal properly,often leading to increased bleeding.

An open-ended $U$-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $1.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$) standing initially $20 \text{ cm}$ from the bottom in each arm. An immiscible liquid of density $4.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$ is added to one arm until a layer $5 \text{ cm}$ high forms,as shown in the figure. What is the ratio $h_2/h_1$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms?

View Solution$A$ $U$-tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury. The mercury columns in the two arms are initially in level with $10.0 \; cm$ of water in one arm and $12.5 \; cm$ of spirit in the other. If $15.0 \; cm$ of water and spirit each are further poured into the respective arms of the tube,what is the difference in the levels (in $cm$) of mercury in the two arms? (The specific gravity of spirit is $0.8$.)

View SolutionThe limbs of a $U$-tube are lowered into vessels $A$ and $B$,where vessel $A$ contains water. Some air is pumped out through the top of the tube at $C$. The liquids in the left limb (in vessel $A$) and the right limb (in vessel $B$) rise to heights of $10\, cm$ and $12\, cm$ respectively above the free surfaces of the liquids in the vessels. The density of liquid $B$ is ........ $g/cm^3$.
