A glass tube is attached to a water pipe, as shown in Fig. P1108. If the water pressure at the bottom of the tube is 110 kPa and the local atmospheric pressure is 99 kPa, determine how high the water will rise in the tube, in m. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 .

Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now equal volumes of water and light oil (r 5 49.3 lbm/ft3 ) are poured from different arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the U-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil by blowing.

The average atmospheric pressure on earth is approximated as a function of altitude by the relation Patm 5 101.325 (1 2 0.02256z) 5.256, where Patm is the atmospheric pressure in kPa and z is the altitude in km with z 5 0 at sea level.

It is well-known that the temperature of the atmosphere varies with altitude. In the troposphere, which extends to an altitude of 11 km, for example, the variation of temperature can be approximated by T 5 T0 2 bz , where T0 is the temperature at sea level, which can be taken to be 288.15 K, and b 5 0.0065 K/m. The gravitational acceleration also changes with altitude as g(z) 5 g0/(1 1 z/6,370,320)2 where g0 5 9.807 m/s2 and z is the elevation from sea level in m. Obtain a relation for the variation of pressure in the troposphere (a) by ig

The variation of pressure with density in a thick gas layer is given by P 5 Crn , where C and n are constants.

Take the pressure and density at z 5 0 to be P0 and r0, respectively.
