A hollow cylinder made of thermally insulating material is fitted with a horizontal piston P of mass m
and area A. The piston is made of thermally insulating material. There is no friction between inner
surface of the cylinder and the piston. Above the piston, a liquid of density r is filled up to brims of the
cylinder. The piston is supported at the position shown due to pressure of an ideal gas filled in the lower
portion of the cylinder. When the gas is heated by the heater H it expands and pushes the piston up
spilling the water out of the cylinder. Number of moles of the gas is n and atmospheric pressure is po and
initial temperature is To.

Blood pressure is measured with a sphygmomanometer (figure). The oldest kind of sphygnomanometer
consists of a mercury manometer on one side attached to a closed bag-the cuff. The cuff is wrapped
around the upper arm at the level of the heart and is then pumped up with air. The manometer measures
the gauge pressure of the air in the cuff.
At first, the pressure in the cuff is higher than the systolic pressure-the maximum pressure in the bronchial
artery that occurs when the heart contracts. The cuff pressure squeezes the artery closed and no blood
flows into the forearm. A valve on the cuff is then opened to allow air to escape slowly. When the cuff
pressure decreases to just below the systolic pressure, a little squirt of blood flows past the constriction
in the artery with each heartbeat. The sound of turbulent blood flow past the constriction can be heard
through the stethoscope.
 As air continues to escape from the cuff, the soundof blood flowing through the constriction in the artery
continues to be heard. When the pressure in the cuff reaches the diastolic pressure in the artery – the
minimum pressure that occurs when the heart muscle is relaxed – there is no longer a constriction in the
artery, so the pulsing sounds cease. The gauge pressure for a healthy heart are nominally around 120mmHg
(systolic) and 80 mmHg (diastolic). Take atmospheric pressure as 760 mmHg. specific gravity of mercury

Hydrometer is used to measure the density of liquids (figure (a)). The calibrated float sinks into the fluid
until the weight of the fluid it displaces is exactly equal to its own weight. The hydrometer floats higher
in denser liquids than in less dense liquids. It is weighted at its bottom end so that the upright position is
stable, and a scale in the top stem permits direct density readings. Figure (b) shows a type of hydrometer
that is commonly used to measure the density of battery acid or antifreeze. The bottom of the large tube
is immersed in the liquid ; the bulb is squeezed to expel air and is then released, like a giant medicine
dropper. The liquid rises into the outer tube, and the hydrometer floats in this sample of the liquid.

The Leidenfrost effect
Water droplets on a hot plate bounce around. Water vaporizes at the bottom of the drops. Because
of its poor thermal conductivity, the water vapor forms an insulating layer that slows heat flow
into the drop and prevents it from rapidly evaporating.
Consider a (hemispherical) drop of a liquid sitting on top of a very thin layer of vapour which is thermally
insulating the drop from the very hot plate below.

v is the velocity of vapour in the radial direction at the height z above the mid-plane. The pressure P

Viscosity is measured by a device called the rotating-cylinder viscometer which is shown schematically
in figure. The outer cylinder, which has a bottom so as to contain the liquid, is mounted on a variable-
speed turntable. An inner cylinder hangs from a torsion balance calibrated so that its scale directly reads
the torque exerted on the inner cylinders. The two cylinders are coaxial. The difference between their
radii, r2 – r1, is much smaller than either radius. Thus the annular (ring-shaped) space between the two
cylinders is a reasonable approximation of the planar space between the two parallel plates of figure.
The space between the cylinders is filled to a depth h with the fluid whose viscosity is to be measured.
The outer cylinder is made to rotate, and it pulls the fluid along with it. As a result of the viscous drag of
the fluid, the inner cylinder experiences a torque t. Torsional stiffness of torsion fibre is C.
