Chapter 11, Preflight
You buy a bag of potato chips in Urbana Illinois and forget them (un-opened)
under the seat of your car. You drive out to Denver Colorado to visit a friend
for Thanksgiving, and when you get there you discover the lost bag of chips.
The odd thing you notice right away is that the bag seems to have inflated
like a balloon (i.e. it seems much more round and bouncy than when you bought
it). How can you explain this ??
Due to the change in height, the air is much thinner in Denver. Thus, there is
less pressure on the outside of the bag of chips in Denver, so the bag seems
to inflate because the air pressure on the inside is greater than on the
outside.

Suppose you have a barometer with mercury and a barometer with
water. How does the height h

compare with the height h

?

1. h

2. h

Is it possible to stand on the roof of a five story (50 foot) tall house
and drink, using a straw, from a glass on the ground?
1. No
2. Yes
Even if a person could completely remove all of the air
from the straw, the height to which the outside air
pressure moves the water up the straw would not be high
enough for the person to drink the water.
CORRECT
Evacuate the straw by sucking
How high will water rise?

Suppose you float a large ice-cube in a glass of water, and that after
you place the ice in the glass the level of the water is at the very brim.
When the ice melts, the level of the water in the glass will:
1. Go up, causing the water to spill out of the glass.
2. Go down.
3. Stay the same.

2. A large bathtub filled to the brim with water with a battle-ship
floating in it.
3. They will weigh the same.

A stream of water gets narrower as it falls from a faucet (try it & see).

The water's velocity is increasing as it flows down, so in
order to compensate for the increase in velocity, the area
must be decreased because the density*area*speed must
be conserved
First off the mass of the water is conserved, and water is a incompressible fluid.
The equation of continuity states that A1V1= A2V2. We know that the velocity or
V2 will be increasing due to gravity so in order for the equation to work the area
must decrease or get narrower.
A large bucket full of water has two drains. One is a hole in the side of
the bucket at the bottom, and the other is a pipe coming out of the
bucket near the top, which bent is downward such that the bottom of
this pipe even with the other hole, like in the picture below:
Though which drain is the water spraying out with the highest speed?
1. The hole
2. The pipe
3. Same
The speed of the water depends on the pressure at the opening through which
the water flows, which depends on the depth of the opening from the surface of
the water. Since both the hole and the opening of the downspout are at [the
same] depth below the surface, water from the two will be discharged with the
same speeds.
