- A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of PG = 75 kPa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101 kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged. a) Calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kPa when it is at the surface. b) Solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. At this depth the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball. c) At what depth, in meters, would the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball be zero if the ball were submerged in mercury (ρ = 13,500 kg/m3) instead of in water?arrow_forwardQ 06: Let's imagine that at the beginning of a journey a truck tire has a volume of 40,000 cm3 and an internal pressure of 180 kPa. The temperature of the tire is 16°C. By the end of the trip, the volume of the tire has increased to 45,000 cm3 and the temperature of the air inside the tire is 45°C. What is the tire pressure at the end of the journey?arrow_forwardThe absolute pressure in your car tires is 3.7 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 35.0°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska a.
