An automobile moving through the air causes the air velocity (measured with respect to the car) to decrease and fill a larger flow channel. An automobile has an effective flow channel area of 3 m2 . The car is traveling at 90 km/h on a day when the barometric pressure is 70 cm of mercury and the temperature is 20°C.

How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a light balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take Hc = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression pair = 0e-z/8 000, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.
A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed chamber in which the air pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure. These chambers are usually fitted with glass viewing ports so the medical staff can monitor the patient inside. If the radius of one such viewing port is 10 cm, and the pressure inside the chamber is 2 times atmospheric pressure, then what is the approximate outward force on the viewing port due to the air inside?
air trapped in a sealed lower part of a vertical capillary tube by an 8cm long mercury column. the top is open the temperature is 14°C and atmospheric pressure is 740 mmHg.what length would the trapped air column have if the temperature were 30°C and atmospheric pressure were 760 mmHg
Problem 18: The main intake air duct of a forced air gas heater is 0.305 m in diameter. The inside volume of the house is equivalent to a rectangular solid 11 m wide by 22.5 m long by 3.15 m high. What is the average speed of air in the duct, in meters per second, if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 min?
The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact with the alveoli. A redblood cell takes up oxygen during the 0.5 s that it squeezes through a capillary at the surface of an alveolus. What is the diffusion time for oxygen across the 1-μm-thick membrane separating air from blood? Assume that the diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 2 × 10-11 m2/s.
Prairie dogs are burrowing rodents. They do not suffocate in their burrows, because the effect of air speed on pressure creates sufficient air circulation. The animals maintain a difference in the shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of this difference, the air blows past the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates. Assuming that the openings are at the same vertical level, find the difference in air pressure between the openings and indicate which way the air circulates. Vg = 1.1 m/s VA = 8.5 m/s

Determine at what altitude in meters the air pressure is twice less than on the sea level using the barometic equation that is pressure as a function of height. Given that the temperature is 288.15 K. P=P0e -Mgh/RT, where Po is the pressure at sea level, M is the molar mass of air (in kg/mol), T is standard temperature, R is universal gas constant (8.314 N.m/mol K).
A vertical piston–cylinder device contains a gas at a pressure of 100 kPa. The piston has a mass of 5 kg and a diameter of 12 cm. Pressure of the gas is to be increased by placing some weights on the piston. Determine the local atmospheric pressure and the mass of the weights that will double the pressure of the gas inside the cylinder.
A bubble of air is rising up through the ocean. When it is at a depth of 20.0 m below the surface, where the temperature is 5.00°C, its volume is 0.90 cm3. What is the bubble's volume (in cm3) just before it hits the ocean surface, where the temperature is 20.0°C? Assume the average density of sea water is 1,025 kg/m3. Hint: Use Pascal's Principle (textbook Eq. 14.4) to determine the pressure at the depth of 20.0 m below the surface. cm3
