Acircus performer is putting together an act that involves lying on a bed of nails without getting hurt. the tip of each nail has a radius of 1 mm and the performer has a mass of 65 kg. a typical human pain threshold for pressure on the skin is about 0.40.4mpa (1\text{mpa} = 10^61mpa=10 6 pa). this is the minimum pressure that causes a sensation of pain. if the performer stepped on a single nail, what pressure would the nail exert on his foot?

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.1 m below the tank bottom which is a = 7.4 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute)
