. The highest point in North America is the top of Mount McKinley in A1aski. 20,320 ft above sea level. Using Figure 4.30, find the approximate air pressure there.
Assume that the composition of the earth’s atmosphere is constant below an altitude of 100 km and according to Barometric equation, the pressure decreases with altitude and the atmosphere has a uniform temperature of 25°C. Calculate the barometric pressure in Pa at Mount Ağrı, for which h = 5137m (g = 9.80 m/s2). Assume that 80% of the air is nitrogen and 20% is oxygen.
If a cessna 150 cruises where the pressure is 0.752atm, what is its exact corresponding altitude in feet.
A tank containing water and pressurized air is connected to a manometer as shown below. The listed heights are h1 = 6.2 in, h2 = 4.7 in, and h3 = 10.4 in. If the measured barometric pressure is 13.96 psia, what is the pressure of the air in the tank? (Hints: note the units; assume the density of water is 62.4 lbm/ft^3
The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of a building are 675 and 695 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Take the densities of air and mercury to be 1.18 kg/m3 and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
The air pressure at an altitude of 5.6 k is 7.4 lb/sq in. What is the atmospheric pressure at this altitude in millibars?
calculate the manometric pressure in A, pa, when ∆h=10cm, h1=20cm and h2=300cm. The gauge is open to atmosphere. Consider the negligible specific mass of air. data: Yh2o = 10000 n/m3 and Yhg=136000 n/m3 Choose the correct alternative: a)10,0kPa b)5,0kPa c)15,86kPa d)12,0kPa e)11,6kPa
Why is it misleading to describe atmospheric pressure as simply the weight of the air only pressing down on a surface?
Under standard conditions, the pressure at the top of a mountain is 82 kPa and the pressure at the base of the same mountain is 101.3 kPa. What is the height of the mountain? Assume that the density of air is 1.23 kg/m3.
HAI City is about 1500 meters above sea level. What is the difference in pressure when you are in HAI City and at sea level? (Air has density of 1.29 kg/m3) a.18,963 kilograms per square meter b.96,381 kilograms per square meter c.63,189 kilograms per square meter d.89,630 kilograms per square meter
Air within the funnel of a large tornado mayhave a pressure of only 0.42 atm.What is the approximate outward force Fon a 7.2 m × 23 m wall if a tornado suddenlyenvelopes the house? Atmospheric pressure is1.013 × 105 Pa.Answer in units of N.
The density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 at sea level. From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero. (In reality, the density of the atmosphere decreases as we go up.) † 1 km 10 km 100 km 1000 km
