The weight of Earths atmosphere exerts an average pressure of 1.01 105 Pa on the ground at sea level. Use the definition of pressure to estimate the Height of Earths atmosphere by approximating Earth as a sphere of radius RE = 6.38 106 m and surface area A = 4RE2.
(a) What fraction of Earth's diameter is the greatest ocean depth? (b) The greatest mountain height?
Dry air is primarily composed of nitrogen. In a classroom demonstration, a physics instructor pours 2.00 L of liquid nitrogen into a beaker. After the nitrogen evaporates, how much volume does it occupy if its density is equal to that of the dry air at sea level? Liquid nitrogen has a density of 808 kg/m3.
A small statue is recovered in an archaeological dig. Its weight is measured to be 96 lb, and its volume 0.08 ft3. (a) What is the statue's weight density? (b) What substance is it?
The density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 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.) (This question is courtesy or Edward F. Redish. For more questions of this type, see http://www.physics.umd.edu/perg/.)
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.)
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.
Assume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0-gal gasoline tank. (a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per second. (b) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in cubic meters per second. (c) Determine the time interval, in hours, required to fill a 1.00-m3 volume at the same rate. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3)

The gauge works based on air pressure, according to the formula h 18400 log(), where h is the height of the airplane above the ground in metres, P is the air pressure at height h, and P。 is the air pressure at ground level. Air pressure is measured in kilopascals (kPa). a. b. Air pressure at the ground is 102 kPa.
