Chapter 22, Problem 7PEB
A helium balloon at sea level had a volume of 1.50 m3 when it was filled. The barometric pressure at sea level was 1,013 hPa. What was the volume of the balloon, in m3, when it reached an altitude where the pressure was 560 hPa?

Air pressure decreases at a rate of 2.25 Pa(pascals) per kilometer in the eastward direction. In addition, the air pressure is decreasing at a constant rate with respect to time everywhere. A ship sailing eastward at 6 km/hour past an island takes barometer readings and records a pressure drop of 70 Pain 2 hours. Estimate the time rate of change of air pressure on the island. (Pascal is a unit of air pressure 1Pa=1N/m2=1kg/m∗s2^2)
Time rate of change of air pressure =---- Pa/hr
