Every few years, winds in Boulder, Colorado, attain sustained speeds of 45.0 m/s (about 100 mi/h) when the jet stream descends during early spring. Approximately what is the force due to the Bernoulli effect on a roof having an area of 210 m2? Typical air density in Boulder is 1.14 kg/m3 , and the corresponding atmospheric pressure is 8.89 × 104 N/m2 . (Bernoulli’s principle assumes a laminar flow. Using the principle here produces only an approximate result, because there is significant turbulence.)

An automobile weighing 1.19 x 104 N has weight equally distributed over its wheels. The weight of the car causes each tire to be slightly flattened on the bottom so that there is a surface area in contact with the road. The gauge pressure of the air in the tire is 1.90 x 105 Pa (27.55 lb/in2). Find the area of contact, assuming that the only forces on the section of tire in contact with the road are the air pressure and the normal force exerted by the surface of the road.
A schoolboy is trying to pump up a bicycle tire so that its pressure is 0.6 × 105 Pa above that of atmospheric pressure. If the boy uses a hand-pump with a circular piston 0.025 m in diameter, how much force he should apply?
The air above an airplane wing moves faster than the air below it. A certain airplane wing has an area of 124m^2. The wind speed above the wing is 258m/s and below it is 220m/s. Assuming that the elevation and air density (1.23kg/m^3) are approximately the same at these two points, what is the pressure difference caused by the wind speeds? What is the lift force on the wing?

A meat baster consists of a squeeze bulb attached to a plastic tube. When the bulb is squeezed and released, with the open end of the tube under the surface of the basting sauce, the sauce rises in the tube to a distance h, as the drawing shows. Using 1.013 × 105 Pa for the atmospheric pressure and 1470 kg/m3 for the density of the sauce, find the absolute pressure PB in the bulb when the distance h is (a) 0.18 m and (b) 0.09 m.
