Question

Many cultures around the world still use a simple weaponcalled a blowgun, a tube with a dart that fits tightly inside. Asharp breath into the end of the tube launches the dart. Whenexhaling forcefully, a healthy person can supply air at a gaugepressure of 6.0 kPa. a) What force does this pressure exerton a dart in a 1.1-cm-diameter tube?

Explanation / Answer

Force = Pressure X Area Pressure = 6.0 * 106 (kilo means106) Area or a tube (circle) = r2 A = (.011 / 2)2 A = 9.5 * 10-5 F = (6.0 * 106) * (9.5 * 10-5) F = 570.2 N F = (6.0 * 106) * (9.5 * 10-5) F = 570.2 N
