- How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take He = 0.179 kg/m3.

They do not suffocate in their burrows, because the effect of air speed on pressure creates sufficient air circulation. The animals maintain a difference in the shapes of two entrances to the burrow, and because of this difference, the air blows past the openings at different speeds, as the drawing indicates. Assuming that the openings are at the same vertical level, find the difference in air pressure between the openings and indicate which way the air circulates.

- A weather map shows a shallow, stationary depression centred over a point on the Earth's surface at latitude 50° N. The isobars corresponding to pressures of 998, 1000 and 1002 mbar are concentric circles of radius 50, 200 and 350 km respectively. Estimate the wind speed on the 1000 mbar isobar, neglecting the effects of friction between air and ground. You may assume that the wind direction follows the isobars (i.e. rotating anti-clockwise in circles around the depression as viewed from above).

These chambers are usually fitted with glass viewing ports so the medical staff can monitor the patient inside.

If the wings have a surface area of 1100 m2m2 , how fast must the air flow over the upper surface of the wing if the plane is to stay in the air?

What is the approximate air pressure at that altitude?arrow_forwardLong Snorkel: Inhalation of a breath occurs when the muscles surrounding the human lungs move to increase the volume of the lungs, thereby reducing the air pressure in the lungs. The difference between the reduced pressure in the lungs and outside atmospheric pressure causes a flow of air into the lungs. The maximum reduction in air pressure that muscles of the chest can produce in the lungs against the surrounding air pressure on the chest and body is about 3390 Pa. Consider the longest snorkel that a human can operate. The minimum pressure difference needed to take in a breath is about 257 Pa. Find the depth h that a person could swim to and still breathe with this snorkel.arrow_forward
