Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 48P
A mercury barometer is carried in a car on a day when there is no wind. The temperature is 20°C and the corrected barometer height is 761 mm of mercury. One window is open slightly as the car travels at 105 km/hr. The barometer reading in the moving car is 5 mm lower than when the car is stationary. Explain what is happening. Calculate the local speed of the air flowing past the window, relative to the automobile.
