Atmospheric Pressure The atmospheric pressure p on an object decreases with increasing height. This pressure, measured in millimeters of mercury, is related to the height h (in kilometers) above sea level by the Junction p ( h ) = 760 e − 0.145 h Find the height of an aircraft if the atmospheric pressure is 320 millimeters of mercury. Find the height of a mountain if the atmospheric pressure is 667 millimeters of mercury.

2. Answer the following questions.
(A) [50%] Given the vector field F(x, y, z) = (x²y, e", yz²), verify the differential identity
Vx (VF) V(V •F) - V²F
(B) [50%] Remark. You are confined to use the differential identities.
Let u and v be scalar fields, and F be a vector field given by
F = (Vu) x (Vv)
(i) Show that F is solenoidal (or incompressible).
(ii) Show that
G =
(uvv – vVu)
is a vector potential for F.
A driver is traveling along a straight road when a buffalo runs into the street. This driver has a reaction time of 0.75 seconds. When the driver sees the buffalo he is traveling at 44 ft/s, his car can decelerate at 2 ft/s^2 when the brakes are applied. What is the stopping distance between when the driver first saw the buffalo, to when the car stops.

Joseph Liouville proved that the first integral does not have an elementary anti-
derivative Use this fact to prove that the second integral does not have an
elementary anti-derivative. (hint: use an appropriate u-substitution!)
