QUESTION Why does air pressure decrease with increasing altitude? (Select all that apply.)O The weight of the air above is smaller.O Hot air rises.O There is more air below to push up more strongly.O The weight of the air below is smaller.O Less air above pushes down.O Colder air is less dense.PRACTICE ITUse the worked example above to help you solve this problem. In a huge oil tanker, salt water has floodedan oil tank to a depth of h, = 5.40 m. On top of the water is a layer of oil h, = 7.65 m deep, as in thecross-sectional view of the tank as shown in the figure. The oil has a density of 0.700 g/cm³. Find thepressure at the bottom of the tank. (Take 1,025 kg/m³ as the density of salt water.)PaEXERCISEHINTS:GETTING STARTED| 'M STUCK!Calculate the pressure on the top lid of a chest buried under 4.25 meters of mud with density1.75 x 103 kg/m3 at the bottom of a 12.5-m-deep lake.Pa
