- The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 930 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 780 mbars at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the vertical distance climb. Assume g = 9.7 m/s2. Answer: 1289.00 m Fluid mechanics (please include units)arrow_forwardDuring the fall of 2005, Hurricane Wilma passed through the Gulf of Mexico. When the storm was classified as a category 5 hurricane, the pressure at the center of the hurricane was measured at 902 mbars. The highest wind velocity was 175 mph. Assuming the pressure far from the center of the hurricane was 1 bar and the air density was 1.2 kg m3 , estimate the pressure at the center of the hurricane. Comment on the difference in your prediction and the measured value and provide some rationale for the discrepancy. The answer should be p = 914 mbararrow_forwardA closed container contains 1.5m high of water, 2.5m high of oil (SG= 0.8), an unknown liquid (SG= 1.25) whose height is 1.6m, and the pressure at the top of the mixture is 17 KPa. Determine the pressure head at the bottom of the container in millimeters of mercury (SG= 13.6)arrow_forward
- A perfect gas expands polytropically with an initial volume and temperature of 0.06 m³ and 147°C. If the final volume and temperature are 0.21 m³and 21°C, what is the value of the polytropic index n?arrow_forwardA perfect gas undergoes isothermal expansion, which increases its volume by 2 dm3. The final pressure and volume of the gas are 10.2 bar and 10 dm3, respectively. What is the original pressure of the gas in Pascal? Express your answer in exponential form in 2 significant figures. Ex 1.2e1arrow_forwardIf a scuba diver descends too quickly into the sea, the internal pressure on each eardrum remains at atmospheric pressure, while the external pressure increases due to the increased water depth. At sufficient depths, the difference between the external and internal pressures can rupture an eardrum. Eardrums can rupture when the pressure difference is as little as 35 kPa. What is the depth at which this pressure difference could occur? The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3. 1)sketch (include everything in the system) 2)solution(step by step)arrow_forward
