24. An airplane passenger has 100 cm³ of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume will the air have at cruising altitude if cabin pressure drops to 7.50 × 10 N/m²? 25. A company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72 × 107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.01 × 105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 °C.

A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of PG = 75 kPa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101 kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged. a) Calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kPa when it is at the surface. b) Solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. At this depth the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball. c) At what depth, in meters, would the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball be zero if the ball were submerged in mercury (ρ = 13,500 kg/m3) instead of in water?
