A weatherman carried an aneroid barometer from the ground floor to his office at the top of Sears Tower in Chicago. On the ground level, the barometer read 30.25 inches of Hg; topside it read 28.45 inches of Hg. Assume that the average atmospheric air density was 0.075 lb/ft', estimate the height of the building.

Hi. I am trying to practice this problem using a checker online, but everytime I recalculate my answer it always says it's incorrect. So far I have calculated and tried to input the following values: 1 hp, 1.01 hp, and 0.8 hp but it always keeps saying they are incorrect. Am I missing a sign change? (Should the answer be negative?) Or am I solving this incorrectly and getting the wrong value each time? Please help show me the correct steps on how to get the correct answer as I am trying to learn this process. Thank you!
two cylinders are printed on a 3d printer, with a setting of 40% fill rate. This means that the solid parts of the cylinders at 40% plastic material. Given this, tell me how much plastic material is used to make each of these cylinders. I measured both cylinders in meters and these are the measurements below A) Cylinder 1- Height: 0.042m Radius 2(outer radius): 0.008m Radius 1(inner radius): 0.006m B) Cylinder 2 Height: 0.022m Radius 2(outer radius): 0.008m Radius 1(inner radius): 0.006m
