A. Determine the density of air at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado, on a warm summer evening when the temperature is 78 F. The barometric pressure is 85.1 kPa.
B. Assume to a first approximation that the drag froce exerted on a well-hit baseball arcing to the outfield, or beyond, is proportional to the air density. Discuss the implications of this for balls hit at Mile High Stadium in Denver versus balls hit in Yankee Stadium in New York.
C. Find the approximate ratio between the distance a ball will travel when hit with the same force in New York as compared to Colorado.
