Problem Set

The document presents a problem set from August 29, 2024, consisting of four physics problems related to atmospheric pressure, barometric measurements, and fluid mechanics. It includes calculations for pressure at different altitudes, ambient pressure using a barometer, and pressure dynamics in connected water cylinders. Each problem requires applying principles of density, pressure, and equilibrium in fluid systems.

Problem Set (August 29, 2024)

1. The density of atmospheric air is about 1.15 kg/m3, which we assume is constant. How
large an absolute pressure will a pilot encounter when flying 2000 m above ground level,
where the pressure is 101 kPa? (Think Manometer)

2. A barometer to measure absolute pressure shows a mercury column height of 725 mm.
The temperature is such that the density of the mercury is 13 550 kg/m3. Find the
ambient pressure.

3. Two cylinders are filled with liquid water, ρ = 1000 kg/m^3, and connected by a line with
a closed valve, as shown in the figure below. A has 100 kg and B has 500 kg of water,
their cross-sectional areas are Area A = 0.1 m^2 and Area B = 0.25 m^2, and the height
h is 1 m. Find the pressure on either side of the valve. The valve is opened, and water
flows to an equilibrium. Find the final pressure at the valve location.
(Note: mass = density x area x height ; volume = area x height)
