QUESTION:
Problem 31P
A gymnasium is 16 m high. By what percent is the air pressure at the floor greater than the air pressure at the ceiling?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
We are going to find the percentage of difference in the air pressure at the ground and the height 16 above the ground in a gymnasium
The density of air \(\rho=1.29 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
The acceleration due to gravity \(\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)
The height above the ground \(\mathrm{h}=16 \mathrm{~m}\)
The atmospheric pressure \(\mathrm{p}_{0}=101.325 \mathrm{kPa}\)
