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 horizontal pipe 10.0 cm in diameter has a smooth reduction to a pipe 5.00 cm in diameter. If the pressure of the water in the larger pipe is 8.00 104 Pa and the pressure in the smaller pipe is 6.00 104 Pa, at what rate does water flow through the pipes?
What would be the height of the atmosphere if the air density (a) were uniform and (b) decreased linearly to zero with height? Assume that at sea level the air pressure is 1.00 atm and the air density is 1.25 kg/m³. (a) Number Units (b) Number i Units
The pressure on Earth's atmosphere as a function of height y above sea level can be determined by assuming g to be constant and that the density of air is proportional to the pressure, i.e., px P. Note that this assumption is not very accurate since temperature and other weather effects can influence pressure. [Hint: Po = 1.013 × 105 N/m², po = 1.29 kg x m-³] (1) Start by finding a relation between the pressure Po and the density of air po at 0° at sea level (y=0) and the pressure P and density p at height y. Using this relation find an expression for p as a function of P, i.e., p = p(P). (2) Find the pressure as a function y. (3) At what altitude above sea level is the atmospheric pressure equal to half the pressure at sea level?
The rate of change of atmospheric pressure P with respect to altitude h is proportional to P, provided that temperature is constant. At 15°C the pressure is 101.3 kPa at sea level and 87.14 kPa at h = 1000 m. Answer the following questions. a) What is the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 4000 m? Round to three decimal places. b) What is the atmospheric pressure at the top of Mount Greylock in Massachusetts, at an altitude of 1063 m? Round to three decimal places. CHECK ANSWER kPa NEXT kPa
The volume of an air bubble increases by a factor of 3.19 times as it rises from the bottom of a lake (density = 1000 kg/m 3). This is due to the drop of the absolute pressure by a factor of 1/3.19. Ignoring any temperature changes, What is the depth of the lake? Take g = 9.8 m/s2. One atmospheric pressure = 1.013 x 105 N/m2. Please round your answer to one decimal place. Equation: ??ℎ+??=ρgh+Pa= 3.19 ??
The density of air is 1.3 kg/m at sea level. From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero. (In reality, the density of the atmosphere decreases as we go up.) t O 1 km O 10 km O 100 km O 1000 km Need Help? Read It
The temperature of the atmosphere is not always constant and can increase or decrease with height. In a neutral atmosphere, where there is not a significant amount of vertical mixing, the temperature decreases at a rate of approximately 6.5 K per km. The magnitude of the decrease in temperature as height increases is known as the lapse rate (Γ). (The symbol is the upper case Greek letter gamma.) Assume that the surface pressure is p0 = 1.013 × 105 Pa where T = 293 K and the lapse rate is (−Γ = 6.5 K/km). Estimate the pressure 3.0 km above the surface of Earth.
The atmospheric pressure (P), in pounds per square inch, at x miles above sea level is given approximately by P = 17.2e -0.21x 0. At what height will the atmospheric pressure be half If sea level pressure is the pressure at x = the sea level pressure?
Atmospheric pressure follows the following differential equation: dP/dh = −kP Where k is a constant that depends on other physical constants such as temperature, the acceleration of gravity, the molecular weight of air, etc. Suppose that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013mb (millibars) and the atmospheric pressure in Mexico City, which is 2240m above sea level, is 764mb. Estimate the atmospheric pressure in the lagoons of Montebello, Chiapas, which are 1500m above sea level. Note: Don't skip steps to get to the result
Variation of Pressure in the atmosphere. The pressure of the atmosphere decreases as we move higher in the atmosphere. The decrease in pressure is proportional to the decrease in density of air. р = 2|2° P P Where P = pressure at any point in the atmosphere, and p = density of air at any point in the atmosphere Po pressure at sea level = 1.013 x 105 Pa, and Po air density at sea level = 1.3 kg/m³. a) What is the density p in terms of po, P, and Po? b) Start from the formula dP = - p g dy to determine the pressure at any height y. Note: P is variable c) What is the pressure if the height is 5.0 km above sea level? d) At what height above sea level is the pressure equal to ½ Po ?
