The device shown in fiugre can be used to measure the pressure and volume flow rate when a person exhales. There is a slit of width b running down th length of the cylinder. Inside the tube there is a light movable piston attached to an ideal spring of force constant K. In equiilibrium position the piston is at a position where the slit starts (shown by line AB in the figure. A person is made to exhale into the cylinder causing the piston to compress the spring. Assume that slit width b is very small and the outflow area is much smaller tan the cros section of the tube, even at the pistons full extension. A person exhales and the spring compresses by x. (Density of air=`rho`) (a) Calculate the gage pressure in the tube. (b) Calculate the volume flow rate (Q) of the air.

Answer» Correct Answer - (a) `(kx)/(piR^(2))` (b) `bx^(3//2)sqrt((2K)/(rhopiR^(2)))`
