5) The human ear is made up of various chambers that have fixed amounts of fluid in them as well as air in those chambers that change the amount of fluid in the chambers. The middle ear has a volume of roughly 5.4cm when at a pressure of 1.0 x 105 N/m². a) Determine the volume of that same air when the air pressure is 0.83 x 105 N/m?, consistent with an elevation of 1500m above sea level (assume that remains constant). If the middle ear has no change in volume this means then that the air will somehow have to escape the chamber as well during this change in pressure due to the elevation. It turns out that this phenomena is what causes our ears to 'pop'.
