Density of Solids

The density of a substance refers to how much matter is present in a given amount of space. It is expressed as the ratio of the mass of the substance to its volume.

Estimate how many molecules of air are in each 2.5-L breath you inhale that were also in the last breath Galileo took. [Hint: Assume the atmosphere is about 10 km high and of constant density.] Express your answer using two significant figures. N=?? (I got 27, but I was also wrong).
Explain what it means when we say that Earth’s oceans are in hydrostatic equilibrium. Now suppose you are a scuba diver. Would you expect the pressure to increase or decrease as you dive below the surface to a depth of 200 feet? Why?
How does hydrostatic equilibrium relate to hot-air ballooning?

A ship on a large river approaches a bridge, and the captain notices that the ship is about a foot too tall to fit under the bridge. A crew member suggests pumping water from the river into an empty tank on the ship. Would this help? Why or why not?
Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be high enough to support the weight of air above it. How would you expect the pressure on Mt. Everest to differ from the pressure in your classroom? Explain why.
Consider the pressure on a shot putter's hand as he throws the heavy shot.

How would you suggest measuring the temperature of (a) the ocean floor and (b) liquid helium?
Evangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottomof an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that the pressure of our atmosphereis attributable to the weight of the air. The density of air at 0°C at the Earth'ssurface is 1.29 kg/m3 . The density decreases with increasing altitude (as theatmosphere thins). On the other hand, if we assume that the density isconstant at 1.29 kg/m3 up to some altitude h, and zero above that altitude, then h would represent the depth of the ocean of air.Use this model to determine the value of h that gives a pressure of 1.00 atmat the surface of the Earth.
