The measured lapse rate at a given location was 3.8 °F per 1000 ft, and the surface temperature was 60 °F. If an air parcel at the surface was heated to 65 °F by solar radiation and accelerated vertically by buoyant forces, at what height would the parcel achieve neutral stability?

Problem 3. (15pts) Complete the following questions by analyzing the Water Phase Diagram. a) Water is heated from its initial condition (7=60°C, P=0.8atm) under constant pressure to the water vapor equilibrium curve. Specify the temperature and pressure at that equilibrium point. b) Water is depressurized from its initial condition (7=60°C, P=0.8atm) under constant temperature to the water vapor equilibrium curve. Specify the temperature and pressure at that equilibrium point. c) You are boiling water near the top of Longs Peak (P=0.6atm). At what temperature of the liquid water will the water begin to boil? d) While boiling water on Longs Peak, is it possible to heat the liquid water to a temperature above your answer in part c)? Explain.

An air-filled, hemispherical shell is attached to the ocean floor at a depth of 9.5 m as shown in the figure below. A mercury barometer located inside the shell reads 765 mm Hg, and a mercury U-tube manometer designed to give the outside water pressure indicates a differential reading of 735 mm Hg as illustrated. Based on these data what is the atmospheric pressure at the ocean surface? Patm = kPa 735 mm Ocean surface Seawater 360 mm Mercury Shell- Shell wall V 14 9.5m
