A very powerful vacuum cleaner has a hose 2.36 cm in diameter. With no nozzle on the hose (no change to hose area), what is the weight of the heaviest brick it can lift? The atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm=101,300 Pa. Ignore the buoyancy force of the air on the brick.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure=Force/Area

Force=Pressure * Area


Force=1.013* 10^5 * 3.14* (1.03* 10^(-2))^2\\\\=33.7N
