Why does the liquid rise in a syringe when its piston is pulled up?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the liquid rises in a syringe when its piston is pulled up, we can break down the explanation into a series of steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pressure**: - Liquids and gases move from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure. This is a fundamental principle of fluid dynamics. **Hint**: Remember that pressure differences drive the movement of fluids. ...

A piston is fitted in a cylindrical tube of small cross section with the other end of the tube open. The tube resonates with a tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz. The piston is gradually pulled out of the tube and it is found that a second resonance occurs when the piston is pulled out through a distance of 32.0 cm. Calculate the speed of sound in the air of the tube.

    A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are 20mm and 1mm respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere. If the density of air is rho_a , and that of the liquid rho_l , then for a given piston speed the rate (volume per unit time) at which the liquid is sprayed will be proportional to
