3.

(a) 2.58 g

(b) The volume of your body increases by the volume of air you inhale. The average density of your body decreases when you take a deep breath, because the density of air is substantially smaller than the average density of the body before you took the deep breath.

(a) V = d i A i = d o A o d o = d i A i A o . V = d i A i = d o A o d o = d i A i A o . size 12{ V=d rSub { size 8{i} } A rSub { size 8{i} } =d rSub { size 8{o} } A rSub { size 8{o} } drarrow d rSub { size 8{o} } =d rSub { size 8{i} } left ( { {A rSub { size 8{i} } } over {A rSub { size 8{o} } } } right ) "." } {}

Now, using equation:

F 1 A 1 = F 2 A 2 F o = F i A o A i . F 1 A 1 = F 2 A 2 F o = F i A o A i . size 12{ { {F rSub { size 8{1} } } over {A rSub { size 8{1} } } } = { {F rSub { size 8{2} } } over {A rSub { size 8{2} } } } drarrow F rSub { size 8{o} } =F rSub { size 8{i} } left ( { {A rSub { size 8{o} } } over {A rSub { size 8{i} } } } right ) "." } {}

Finally,

W o = F o d o = F i A o A i d i A i A o = F i d i = W i . W o = F o d o = F i A o A i d i A i A o = F i d i = W i . size 12{W rSub { size 8{o} } =F rSub { size 8{o} } d rSub { size 8{o} } = left ( { {F rSub { size 8{i} } A rSub { size 8{o} } } over {A rSub { size 8{i} } } } right ) left ( { {d rSub { size 8{i} } A rSub { size 8{i} } } over {A rSub { size 8{o} } } } right )=F rSub { size 8{i} } d rSub { size 8{i} } =W rSub { size 8{i} } } {}

In other words, the work output equals the work input.

(b) If the system is not moving, friction would not play a role. With friction, we know there are losses, so that Wout=WinWfWout=WinWf size 12{W rSub { size 8{"out"} } =W rSub { size 8{"in"} } - W rSub { size 8{f} } } {}; therefore, the work output is less than the work input. In other words, with friction, you need to push harder on the input piston than was calculated for the nonfriction case.
