A weather balloon has an absolute-pressure sensor
attached. On the ground the sensor
reads PA =
1.01×105 Pa. At a height
of h = 962 m, the sensor
reads PB = 8.9×104 Pa.
Assuming air is an incompressible fluid, enter an expression for
an estimate of the density of air, in terms of the defined
quantities and the acceleration due to
gravity, g.
Calculate the density of air, in kilograms per cubic meter,
assuming it is an incompressible fluid.
