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
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 ?
Under standard conditions, the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. What is the mass of the air inside a room measuring 4.0 m × 3.0 m × 2.0 m?
Ocean water has a density of 1.03 g/cm3. On a particular day, the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the ocean is 101 kPa. How deep into the ocean would you have to dive to experience a pressure of1 42 kPa on your body? Give your answer in meters (m) and with 3 significant figures.
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 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?
The SI unit of pressure is the pascal, which is equal to one newton per square meter: 1 Pa = 1 N/m?. In the United States, another commonly used unit of pressure is the PSI, which is equal to one pound of force per square inch: 1 PSI conversions may be helpful: 1 lbf/in?. Convert 1 pascal to PSI. The following 1 meter = 3.281 feet = 39.37 inches 1 pound of force = 4.448 newtons
Starting with an atmospheric pressure of 101,325 Pa, express the magnitude of the pressure in the following units: (a) millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), (b) centimeters of mercury (in Hg), and (c) meters of water . The densities of water and mercury are ρH2O = 1,000 kg⁄m3 and ρHg =13,550 kg⁄m3 respectively.

The atmospheric pressure at the time the video was taken was recorded by the National Weather Service as 30.10 inches of mercury, with the alternative measure of a sea level equivalent 1018.8 bar. What was the atmospheric pressure in the laboratory (we are only a few km from the Weather Service's station) in SI units? The standard unit of pressure is the pascal. For atmospheric pressure it is conventional to use kPa, kilopascal. Why is there a difference between the measured pressure locally and the sea level equivalent, apart from the continued use of imperial units for barometric pressure.
