The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of

a building are 730 and 755 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the building. Assume an average air density of 1.18 kg/m^3.

Answer:

h = 287.1 m

Explanation:

the density of mercury \rho =13570 kg/m3

the atmospheric pressure at the top of the building is

p_t = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.73 = 97.08 kPa

the atmospheric pressure at bottom

p_b = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.75 = 100.4 kPa

\frac{w_{air}}{A} =p_b -p_t

we have also

(\rho gh)_{air} = p_b - p_t

1.18*9.81*h = (100.4 -97.08)*10^3

h = 287.1 m

How is an orthographic drawing similar to or different from an isometric drawing?
evablogger [386]
An isometrical drawing is a nearly 3d drawing showing the object's width and depth in a complete image, from each curved plane of the orthhographic view, the viewpoint is at a 45 degree angle. From an observations point of view, isometric differs, since all longitudes are true.
