Post-Lab Question 6 A sealed gas cylinder on the back of an open truck experiences a temperature change from -21.0 ˚C to 38.9 ˚C as it is driven from North Dakota to Arizona. If the pressure gauge on the tank reads 131.2 atm in North Dakota, what will the gauge read in Arizona, in atm? Report your answer to accurate significant figures
8. Shaming of flying: is it fair? We are seeing in recent years the shaming of flying. The reasoning is that a plane uses a lot of fuel in each flight. For example, as presented in class, a Boeing 737MAX burns 1.6 gallons of jet fuel for each mile in cruise. Explain if such shaming is justified in the overall picture of energy consumption and CO2 emission.
Given the following measurements of mean winds and temperature from a 200-m mast in Netherlands on a September night:

Solve for the friction velocity (U*).
Formula: The fundamental scaling velocity, equal to the square root of the surface stress, to, divided by the air density.
I am not that sure with the formula but can you please try it for me :) Please help thank you so much! :)
