At a certain location, the surface temperature is 34 °C and the lapse rate is -8.7 °C/1,000 m. A parcel of air with a temperature of 28 °C has been lifted to an altitude of 950 mm. Is the parcel of air stable or unstable?
At 0 ⁰C and under 1 atm pressure, for 100 hours at 4 m/s wind speed and 12 m/s wind speed.Calculate the amount of energy that can be produced in 1 m² area during a 100 hour working period.(ρ = 1,293 kg / m³)
The middle ear has a volume of about 6.0 cm3 when at a pressure of 1.0 ×10^5 N/m^2.
Determine the volume of that same air when the air pressure is 0.83 × 10^5 N/m^2, as it is at an elevation of 1500 m above sea level (assume the air temperature remains constant).
