A surveyor has a steel measuring tape that is calibrated to be 100.000 m long (i.e., accurate to) at . If she measures the distance between two stakes to be 65.175 m on a day, does she need to add or subtract a correction factor to get the true distance? How large, in mm, is the correction factor?
A 60.00 L fuel tank is filled with gasoline on a –day, then rolled into a storage shed where the temperature is . If the tank is not vented, what minimum volume needs to be left empty at filling time so that the tank doesn’t rupture as it warms?
The U-shaped tube in FIGURE P18.57 has a total length of . It is open at one end, closed at the other, and is initially filled with air at pressure.
Mercury is poured slowly into the open end without letting any air escape, thus compressing the air. This is continued until the open side of the tube is completely filled with mercury. What is the length of the column of mercury?

The total lung capacity of a typical adult is . Approximately of the air is oxygen. At sea level and at a body temperature of , how many oxygen molecules do the lungs contain at the end of a strong inhalation?
A diving bell is a -tall cylinder closed at the upper end but open at the lower end. The temperature of the air in the bell is . The bell is lowered into the ocean until its lower end is deep. The temperature at that depth is .
a. How high does the water rise in the bell after enough time has passed for the air inside to reach thermal equilibrium?
b. A compressed-air hose from the surface is used to expel all the water from the bell. What minimum air pressure is needed to do this?
