A set of bookshelves rests on a hard floor surface on four legs, each having a cross-sectional dimension of 3.0 x 4.1 in contact with the floor. The total mass of the shelves plus the books stacked on them is 266 kg.
Calculate the pressure in pascals exerted by the shelf footings on the surface.
What is the pressure (in atmospheres) of the gas inside the container connected to an open-end, mercury-filled manometer as shown in the picture? (figure 1) the atmospheric pressure is 0.95 atm.
If you measure pressure in bars instead of atmospheres, calculate the corresponding value of r in l−bar/mol−k.
