Suck the air out of a container and watch it being crushed.

Look at a balloon. Its round shape tells you that the pressure (atmospheric) from outside acts equally from all directions. Now take that balloon up a mountain and watch the balloon get bigger. There is less atmospheric pressure acting on the outside of the balloon the higher you go so the pressure inside the balloon makes the balloon bigger.

If a gas has an absolute pressure of 319 kPa its gage pressure is?

The gauge pressure is the absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. If atmospheric pressure is considered to be 101 kPa, then the gauge pressure would be 219 kPa.


What would happen to the atmospheric pressure at the ground if the earth's gravitational force were to increase?

If the Earth's gravitational force were to increase, the atmospheric pressure at the ground would also increase. This is because the increased gravitational force would cause more air molecules to be pulled towards the Earth's surface, resulting in higher atmospheric pressure.


How high would the level be in an alcohol barometer at normal atmospheric pressure?

In an alcohol barometer, the alcohol level would rise to about 13.6 inches at normal atmospheric pressure.


What is the relation between pressure in atmosphere and pressure?

Atmospheric pressure is the surrounding pressure around us. We live in the atmosphere and treat the atmospheric pressure as the base pressure. A pressure gauge would read 0 at atmospheric pressure. When we define the pressure in scientific way of absolute pressure, we need to add up an atmospheric pressure to the measured pressure.


what are the dependent and independent variables of a ballon depending on atmospheric pressure?

The mass of the balloon is independent. Atmospheric pressure will not change this because atoms are not being added or taken away from the balloon itself or its contents. The volume of the balloon will change, however, as it will expand or compress in response to the atmospheric pressure around it. The volume, therefore, is a dependent variable in this situation.

To measure a pressure above atmospheric pressure you would use?

A pressure gauge or manometer is typically used to measure pressure above atmospheric pressure. These devices can accurately measure the pressure difference between the system being measured and atmospheric pressure.

How does one obtain the total pressure of a system that is being operated at the same pressure as current atmospheric pressure?

The total pressure of a system operated at the same pressure as the current atmospheric pressure would be equal to the atmospheric pressure. This is because the atmospheric pressure acts as the external pressure on the system, balancing the internal pressure and leading to a total pressure equivalent to the atmospheric pressure.

If the absolute pressure of gas is 550.280 kPa it's gage pressure is?

The gauge pressure is the difference between the absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure. If atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.3 kPa, then the gauge pressure would be 448.980 kPa (550.280 kPa - 101.3 kPa).


What would happen to the air pressure if you took a barometer from a mountain top down into a mine shaft?

Where would a person experience the least atmospheric pressure?

A person would experience the least atmospheric pressure at high altitudes, such as on top of a mountain or in an airplane flying at high altitude.


Is barometric pressure the same as atmosheric pressure?

Barometric pressure refers specifically to the pressure exerted by the atmosphere, while atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of the air above that surface. In essence, barometric pressure is a type of atmospheric pressure.
