Problem
1. A probe is lowered 16 m into a lake. Find the absolute pressure there.
2. 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?
3. The standard pressure in the atmosphere with elevation (H) above sea level can be correlated as P = P0 (1 - H/L) 5.26 with L = 44 300 m. With the local sea level pressure P0 at 101 kPa, what is the pressure at 10 000 m elevation?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
