Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Laplace's law, P = 2(ST/r), states that the pressure within a sphere is directly related to the sur-face tension of the liquid and inversely related to the radius of the sphere; that is, both surface tension and pressure within a sphere will change equally in the same proportion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In the Systme International d'Units system of measurements, surface tension is measured in dyne per centimeter.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
