Answer to Problem 67GP

The approximate difference in air pressure is 0.047atm .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Height of the empire state building =380m .

Formula used:

Pressure difference is given by,

  ΔP=ρgh

(density of atmosphere =1.2kg/m3 )

And,

Standard pressure in pascal is 1.013×105Pa .

Calculation:

  ΔPP0=(1.29kgm3)×(9.8ms2)×380mP0=(1.29kgm3)×(9.8ms2)×380m1.013×105Pa=0.047

Conclusion:

The change in pressure is, ΔP=0.047atm
