Answer :
Answer:
The border is 8km above sea level.
Explanation:
We know that:
Density = 1.25 kg/m^3
Pressure = 10^5 N/m^2
g = 10m/s^2
Now, suppose that we have a virtual rectangle, such that its bases have an area of 1m^2 and the rectangle has a height equal to H.
This virtual figure has a volume V = 1m^2*H, and it is filled with air (which we know that has a density 1.25 kg/m^3)
Then the total mass inside that volume is:
M = (1.25 kg/m^3)*V = (1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)
The weight of this mass is:
W = g*M = (10m/s^2)*(1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)
And if we divide the weight in a given surface, let's say 1 m^2, we get the pressure per square meter, which we know is equal to 10^5 N/m^2
then:
P = 10^5 N/m^2 = (10m/s^2)*(1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)*(1/m^2)
Whit this equation we can find the value of H.
10^5 N/m^2 = (10m/s^2)*(1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)*(1/m^2)
10^5 N = (10m/s^2)*(1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)
(10^5 N)/(10 m/s^2) = (1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)
(10^4 kg) = (1.25 kg/m^3)*(1m^2*H)
(10^4 kg)/( 1.25 kg/m^3) = 1m^2*H
8,000 m^3 = 1m^2*H
(8,000 m^3)/(1m^2) =H
8,000 m = H
And we want this answer in km, knowing that 1,000m = 1km
8,000m = 8km = H
The border is 8km above sea level.
Height of boundaries is 8.2 km
Given that:
Normal density = 1.25 kg/m³
1 atm = 101325 N/m²
Find:
Height of boundaries
Computation:
Pressure = Height × Density × Gravitational acceleration
101325 = Height × 1.25 × 9.8
101325 = Height × 12.25
Height of boundaries = 101325 / 12.25
Height of boundaries = 8271.42 m
Height of boundaries = 8.2 km
