Using the information given in Table 10.4 , determine the ratio of local pressure and density to sea-level values. Estimate the value of air density at the cruising altitude of most commercial airliners.
What is the absolute pressure inside the tank after it was submerged in a liquid if the volume of the air inside decreased by 25%? Atmospheric pressure = 101.325 kPa
135.100 kPa
145.778 kPa
152.353 kPa
141.638 kPa
A barometer is used to measure the height of a building by recording reading at the bottom and at the top of the building. The height of the building is to be determined in (m) .
The density of air is given to be as 1.18 kg/m3. The density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m3.
Atmospheric pressures at the top and at the bottom of the building are p1= 73 cm and p2 = 75.395 cm , respectively
