Examples of Interaction Force Pairs

A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature. Consider the propulsion of a fish through the water. A fish uses its fins to push water backwards. But a push on the water will only serve to accelerate the water. Since forces result from mutual interactions, the water must also be pushing the fish forwards, propelling the fish through the water. The size of the force on the water equals the size of the force on the fish; the direction of the force on the water (backwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the fish (forwards). For every action, there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force. Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fish to swim.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
