When you get into higher altitudes, there are less molecules. Making the pressure less dense. It also has less oxygen molecule, making it harder to breathe.

How does the water pressure change with the height of the fixture?

The water pressure increases as the height of the fixture increases. This is because the higher the fixture, the greater the gravitational force acting on the water, resulting in higher pressure.


What is the formula for calculating the water pressure height based on the water pressure and the height of the water column?

The formula for calculating water pressure height is: Pressure Density of water x Gravity x Height.


What doesnot cause the height of mercury column to vary?

A change in the material of the container holding the mercury does not cause the height of the mercury column to vary. The height of the mercury column is determined by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the mercury in the container.


How does more pressure affect the height of an object?

Increasing pressure will compress the object, causing it to decrease in height. Conversely, decreasing pressure will allow the object to expand and increase in height. The relationship between pressure and height is influenced by factors such as the material and structure of the object.


What can you say about the pressure at a point as the direction of the funnel changes?

The pressure at a point will vary as the direction of the funnel changes due to changes in velocity and height of the liquid column above that point. This change in pressure can be calculated using principles of fluid mechanics, such as Bernoulli's equation, taking into consideration the varying cross-sectional area and shape of the funnel.

What relation between pressure and height?

Pressure decreases as height increases and vice-versa.


What is the change in a manometer with relation to a change in pressure of gas?

As the Pressure of the gas being measured increases the height of the fluid in the Manometer Tube increases. The reverse is also true. The graduations of the Manometer Tube gives you a reading of the Gas Pressure being measured.

Ideal blood pressure for children of 2-8yrs?

I found an interesting article on child's blood pressure. Blood pressure will change as the child grows, height and weight are a determining factor of blood pressure for children. The link is posted below.


How do you get the percentage of atmosphere above a height given in km and then how do you get the pressure for the height in mb?

To find the percentage of atmosphere above a certain height in kilometers, you can use the barometric formula to calculate the pressure at that height. Then, you can simply divide the pressure at the given height by the pressure at sea level (1013.25 mb) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage of atmosphere above that height.


What is the term for lake waters rising and falling related to high and low weather pressures?

Water is incompressible and its level (in a LAKE) will not change as a result of an ambient pressure difference. However, in the case of the Ocean or a VERY large body of inland water, a differential pressure caused by differences in atmospheric pressure across the surface of the water will cause height changes. This change in height is called a "storm serge".
