Question 1. The height of a mercury column for atmospheric
pressure at sea level is h = 0.760 + or - 0.003m of mercury
(m-Hg).If the density of mercury is p = 13600 + or -
1000kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 +
or - 0.1ms-2 , determine the value of atmospheric
pressure Po = pgh and its uncertainty in SI units.
Question 2. A particle is moving in a straight line so that its
velocity...
At some location and at some initial time the atmospheric
pressure at sea level is 1000mb and the temperature between sea
level and 900mb surface is 0°C. The atmosphere is in hydrostatic
balance. (a) What is the height above sea level of the 900mb
surface? (b) Over a period of one day the temperature of sea level
and the 900mb surface rises from 0 to 3°C, but the height of
the 900mb surface does not change. What is the new...
What is the theoretical boiling point of 1 M NaCol at sea level
(normal atmospheric pressure)? What is the freezing point of the
same solution? Show calculations.
a) If the atmospheric condition at sea level is 101.3 kPa and
18oC, estimate and plot the pressure as a function of elevation for
the following conditions:
i. Air temperature is constant
ii. Air temperature decreases linearly with elevation at a rate
of 6.0oC/km.
b) Use the result above to estimate pressure and temperature of
air on top of Mount Everest (height ~ 8,800 m).
State all assumptions used.

The air pressure on the bottom of an airplane's wings is greater
than the pressure on the top, providing an upward lift. Calculate
the surface area of the wings required to lift a plane weighing
4.65 105 N if the pressure difference is 0.102 atm.

False
2)it is reasonable to expect that the top speed of the boat will
approximately double if a 9 Hp boat motor is replaced with an 18 Hp
boat motor, All else being equal,
True
False
3)In a steady-state flow, it is not possible for fluid parcels
of fixed identity to accelerate.

False
A nozzle at standard sea level pressure has two water manometers
measuring the static pressure at two points 1 and 2. The upstream
diameter D1 is 8 in and the downstream diameter D2 is 2 in,
respectively. Air flows through the nozzle, and the air and water
temperatures are 60◦F. If the upstream manometer has a column
height of h1 = 1/32 in and the downstream manometer has a column
height of 8.0 in, what is the mass flow rate...
