Solution - Explain Why Atmospheric Pressure at a Height of About 6 Km Decreases to Nearly Half of Its Value at the Sea Level, Though the Height of the Atmosphere is More than 100 Km - Pressure - Concept of Pressure

A 50 kg girl wearing high heel shoes balances on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 1.0 cm. What is the pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor?

Explain why The blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than at the brain

Toricelli’s barometer used mercury. Pascal duplicated it using French wine of density 984 kg m^–3. Determine the height of the wine column for normal atmospheric pressure.

A plane is in level flight at a constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of 25 m². If the speed of the air is 180 km/h over the lower wing and 234 km/h over the upper wing surface, determine the plane’s mass. (Take air density to be 1 kg m^–3).

Explain why Hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even though the pressure is force divided by area.
