The dimensions of a water bed are 2.13 m by 1.52 m by 0.38 m If the frame has a mass of 91.0 kg and the mattress is filled with water whats the pressure the bed exerts on the floor?

2.13m x 1.52m x 0.38m = 1.230288 cubic metres = 1230.288 litres Assuming 1 litre of water = 1kg, gross weight of bed is 1230.288 + 91 = 1321.288kg 2.13m x 1.52m = 3.2376 square metres = 32376 square centimetres 1321.288 / 32376 = 0.040810724 kg/sq cm 0.40810724 x 1000 = 40.810724 g/sq cm (0.58046psi).

How does buoyancy relate to balloons?
The principle of buoyancy relates to the upward pressure that a liquid or gas substance exerts on objects surrounding it. When balloons are filled with gas that exerts less downward force (due to mass and gravity), they will float.
The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does NOT depend on the?
liquid density
When all the liquid has evaporated the vapor totally fills the florence flask and exerts a pressure equal to the atmospheric pressure why?
I'm guessing you are analyzing an experiment where you are determining the molecular mass of an organic liquid. You heated the flask and the liquid evaporated filling the flask, but escaping through a small hole in the covering. 1. Gases always fill the container. So, if the liquid evaporated and formed a gas (vapor), it filled the flask, 2. The pressure on the outside the flask is air pressure. since the vapor isn't pushing off the cover, the pressure is not higher than the air pressure. But since the extra escaped, it cannot be less than the air pressure. Therefore, it is the same.
Why does a balloon change shape when filled with water?
The water produces hydrostatic pressure
Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rise to a particular height and doesn't rise further?
That is because the Pressure inside the balloon caused by the filled pressure reached equilibrium at this point based on the height so can rise no longer.

Does heated air produce pressure?
Yes! The heated air molecules always wants to fly upwards because of being lite. We can take the example of a ballon filled with air. When ballon is heated the pressure increases and ballon brusts. This proves that hot air exerts pressure.

How does a self inflating mattress inflate?
Self inflating camping mattresses are filled with open cell foam. Open cell means the air in the bubbles is not permanently trapped but can be pushed in and out of the bubbles. This foam is made from a flexible and durable plastic with a strong "memory" so that it tries to return to the same shape after pressure is removed. When the mattresses air vents are opened on a deflated mattress, the pressure of the foam trying to revert to its expanded shape pulls air in to the mattress. The vents are then closed and the trapped air inside the mattress provides support for people lying on the mattress.
