Preliminary questions for Class 110131
`q001. Squeezes judged by one experimenter as 1, 4 and 9 on a 1-10 scale resulted in water column heights of 12, 50 and 100 cm.
Squeezes judged by the same experimenter as 2, 5 and 8 on the same 1-10 scale resulted in air column lengths of 29, 27 and 26 cm, where the air column is 30 cm long at atmospheric pressure.
Calculate the additional pressure needed to support the water column, for each of the observed heights.
#$&*
In atm
P_1 = 1.0116
P_4= 1.0484
P_9= 1.0968
****
Calculate the air column pressure, in atmospheres, for each observed length.
#$&*
Using P1V1=P2V2 where V=A*h then V1= 0.3*A & P1 = 1 atm
V2=0.29*A -->0.29*A*P2=0.3*A*1--> P2= 1.03
P_2= 1.03 atm
P_5= 1.11 atm
P_8= 1.15 atm

Sketch a graph of water column pressure vs. estimated squeeze and sketch the straight line you think best fits this graph.
Sketch a graph of air column pressure vs. estimated squeeze and sketch the straight line you think best fits this graph.
Give the slope of each of your straight lines.
#$&*
H20= 0.01
Air=0.02
Water column pressure can be determined in N / m^2, from the height of the column.
****
Based on your two graphs, what would you conclude is the value of atmospheric pressure?
#$&*
@& The pressure of the water column should be calculated in Pascals.
This analysis arrives at a value for atmospheric pressure, so you can't assume the given value for P_atm.*@
My two lines very nearly intersect my pressure axis at 1. The H2O is a little above and the air below. So it seems that, within error, my graph shows 1.
****
Based on your own similar observations, what would you conclude is the value of the atmospheric pressure?
#$&*
@& You could easily obtained an estimate of atmospheric pressure by calculating water pressure in Pa.
You calculated the water pressure in atmospheres. So your final result (slope of 1) shows that 1 atmosphere of pressure is equal to 1 atmosphere of pressure.*@
I'm not certain about this question. I've been working in atmospheres and I guess this refers to Pa maybe? I haven't made enough observations to deduce that.
