Rank the pressures from highest to lowest: (a) bottom of a 20-cmcm-tall container of salt water, (b) bottom of a 20-cmcm-tall container of fresh water, and (c) bottom of a 5-cmcm-tall container of mercury.
In hot-air ballooning, a large balloon is filled with air heated by a gas burner at the bottom. Why must the air be heated? How does the balloonist control ascent and descent?
The pressure exerted against the ground by an elephant’s weight distributed evenly over its four feet is less than 1 atmosphere. Why, then, would you be crushed beneath the foot of an elephant, while you’re unharmed by the pressure of the atmosphere?
