An office window has dimensions 3.4 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.96 atm, but inside the pressure is held at 1.0 atm. What net force pushes out on the window? A = (3.4 m)(2.1 m) = 7.14 m2 . The pressure difference and the force are: p p0 = (1.0 atm 0.96 atm) 1.013 105 N/m2 1 atm = 4.05 103 N/m2 F = (p p0 )A = 2.9 104 N

HRW 14.2 A partially evacuated airtig ht container has a tight-fitting lid of surface area 77 m2 and negligible mass. If the force required to remove the lid is 480 N and the atmospheric pressure is 1.0105 Pa, what is the internal air pressure? Assuming the force required is only to overcome the pressure difference, the gauge pressure is F = (p out pin )A pin pout = F 480 N 2 = = 6.2 N/m A 77 m2

The absolute pressure on the inside would be only slightly smaller than the atmospheric pressure on the outside. HRW 14.17 Crew members attempt to escape from a damaged submarine 100 m below the surface. What force must be applied to a pop-out hatch, which is 1.2 m by 0.60 m, to push it out at that depth? Assume that the densi ty of ocean water 1024 kg/m 3 and the internal air pressure is 1.0 atm. Assuming atmospheric pressure inside, the gauge pressure is p p0 = gh = (1024 kg/m3 )(9.80 m/s )(100 m) = 1.00 106 N/m2 The area is simply, A = (1.2 m)(0.60 m) = 0.72 m2 , and the force is F = (p p0 )A = (1.00 106 N/m2 )(0.72 m2 ) = 7.2 105 N

HRW 14.23 In analyzing certain geological features, it is often appropriate to assume that the pressure at some horizo ntal level of compensatio n, deep inside the Earth, is the same over a large region and is equal to the pressure due to the gravitational force on the overlying material. Thus, the pressure on the level of compensation is given by the fluid pressure formula. This model requires, for one thin g, that mou ntains have roots of continental rock extending into the denser mantle (see figure). Consider a mou ntain of height H = 6.0 km on a continent of thickness T = 32 km. The contine ntal rock has a density of 2.9 g/cm 3 , and beneath this rock the mantle has a density of 3.3 g/cm 3 . Calculate the depth D of the root. (Hint: Set the pressure at points a and b equal; the depth y of the level of compensation will cancel out.)

At a and b the pressure are: pa p0 = 1 g(T + H + D) + 2 g(y D) pb p0 = 1 gT + 2 gy

where 1 = 2.9 g/cm3 and 2 = 3.3 g/cm3 are the densities of the contine nt and mantle, respectively. Setting these pressures equal: 1 gT + 1 gH + 1 gD + 2 gy 2 gD = 1 gT + 2 gy Solve for D: (2 1 )D = 1 H D = 1 H = 2 1 1 H + (1 2 )D = 0

2.9 g/cm3 (6.0 km) = 43.5 km 3.3 g/cm3 2.9 g/cm3

p0 = p + gh

p p0 = (1.00 103 kg/m3 )(9.80 m/s )(0.040 m) = 392 N/m2 = 3.9 103 atm

HRW 14.65 A venturi meter is used to measure the flow speed of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is connected between two sections of the pipe (see figure); the cross-sectional area A of the entrance and exit of the meter matches the pipes cross-sectional area. Between the entrance and exit, the fluid flows from the pipe with speed V and then through a narrow throat of cross-sectional area a with speed v. A manometer connects the wider portion of the meter to the narrower portion. The change in the fluids speed is accompanied by a change p in the fluids pressure, which causes a height difference h of the liquid in the two arms of the manometer. (Here p means pressure in the throat minus pressure in the pipe.)
