Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming you have created a force by hanging a certain mass from one hemisphere then

Force = Mass * Gravity

We need to consider the area on which the air pressure is acting upwards and supporting the mass. We could look at all of the vectors acting inwards on the lower half of the sphere, but this can be resolved to the same pressure acting upwards over the area across the centre of the sphere - so we take the area as the Cross Sectional Area across the join.

Area = PI * radius^2

So to calculate the pressure use:

Pressure = (Mass*Gravity) / (PI * radius^2)

How can we calculate the flux for hemispheres of different radii?

To calculate the flux for hemispheres of different radii, you can use the formula for flux, which is the surface integral of the vector field over the surface of the hemisphere. The flux can be calculated by taking the dot product of the vector field and the normal vector to the surface, and then integrating over the surface area of the hemisphere. The formula for flux is given by F dS, where F is the vector field, dS is the differential surface area element, and the integral is taken over the surface of the hemisphere.


How can one calculate the flux for hemispheres of varying radii?

To calculate the flux for hemispheres of varying radii, you can use the formula for flux, which is the surface integral of the vector field over the surface of the hemisphere. The flux can be calculated by taking the dot product of the vector field and the unit normal vector to the surface, and then integrating over the surface area of the hemisphere. The formula for flux is given by F dS, where F is the vector field, dS is the differential surface area element, and the integral is taken over the surface of the hemisphere.


A hemisphere of radius R is placed in an uniform electric field E with it's axis perpendicular to the electric field E what is the electric flux through the curved surface?

The electric flux through the curved surface of the hemisphere can be calculated using the formula Φ = E * A, where E is the electric field strength and A is the area of the curved surface. The area of the curved surface of a hemisphere can be calculated as 2πR^2, where R is the radius of the hemisphere. So, the electric flux through the curved surface of the hemisphere is Φ = E * 2πR^2.


Which directions do tornadoes spin?

Tornadoes nearly always spin counterclockwise if they are in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if they are in the southern hemisphere.


Does a cyclone move in a counterclockwise motion?

In the Northern Hemisphere, yes. In the Southern Hemisphere, no.
