A woman is enjoying a tropical drink while lying on a beach.The acceleration due to gravity at her location is 9.78 m/s².What gauge pressure must exist in the woman's mouth if she is drinking through a straw extending 0.075 m above the surface of the drink? Note: Assume the drink has a density of 1020 kg/m³.

Question

The gauge pressure required to lift the liquid through the straw can be calculated using the formula: Pressure = density * gravity * height. Substituting the given values: Pressure = 1020 kg/m³ * 9.78 m/s² * 0.075 m = 750.15 Pa, which rounds to 750 Pa.
