Chapter 17, Problem 47P
(II) A typical scuba tank, when fully charged, contains 12 L of air at 204 atm. Assume an “empty” tank contains air at 34 atm and is connected to an air compressor at sea level. The air compressor intakes air from the atmosphere, compresses it to high pressure, and then inputs this high-pressure air into the scuba tank. If the (average) flow rate of air from the atmosphere into the intake port of the air compressor is 290L/min, how long will it take to fully charge the scuba tank? Assume the tank remains at the same temperature as the surrounding air during the filling process.

If the volume of the gas decreases to zero, what happens to the pressure?
A pneumatic lift consists of a vertical cylinder with aradius of 10.0 cm. A movable piston slides within the cylinder atits upper end and supports a platform on which loads are placed. Anintake valve allows compressed air from a tank to enter the cylinder,and an exhaust valve allows air to be removed from the cylinder. Ineither case the rate of air transfer is sufficiently low that the temperaturein the cylinder remains constant. When neither valve is activated,the cylinder is airtight. The piston and platform together have a massof 50.0 kg, the temperature is 20.0 C, and the pressure outside thecylinder is 1.00 atm. There is 1.00 mol of air in the cylinder and no load on the platform. What is the height h between the bottom of the piston and the bottom of the cylinder?
(II) A physician judges the health of a heart by measuring thepressure with which it pumps blood. If the physician mistakenly attaches the pressurized cuff around a standing patient’s calf (about 1 m below the heart) instead of the arm (Fig. 10–42), what error (in Pa) would be introduced in theheart’s blood pressure measurement?
