Below is a data set for how the pressure increases with depth (distance below sea level), where pressure is specified in units of kiloPascals (kPa) and depth in meters (m)

Depth (m)	Pressure (kPa)
10	202
20	310
30	401
40	503
50	599

Find the equation of the best-fit line. You’ll need to calculate the slope and y-intercept in order to do this.
What does the slope physically represent? What does the y-intercept physically represent?
Using your equation, predict the pressure for a depth of 62 meters.

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...

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...

A tuna with a mass of 100kg swims at a level depth of 20m below the surface of the sea. 1) Draw a free body diagram for the tuna. 2) Calculate the buoyant force on the tuna, and with that the tuna’s volume. 3) Some fish are able change their volume in order to move up and down by inflating a specilized organ within them called a swim bladder. Calculate how much the volume of the tuna must be changed...

Calculate the partial pressure of O2 (P02, mm Hg) in dry air in Arcata (sea level- assume atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg). Arcata air never gets fully dry. Assume 90% humidity at 15°C (saturated water vapor pressure at 15°C=12.8 mm Hg) and calculated the actual partial pressure of O2 in Arcata air.
