Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A hiker is using an aneroid barometer at sea level, and the pressure reading is 1015 hPa. If they ascend to a height of 1000 meters, what would you expect the new reading to be if the density of air decreases proportionally?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the known decrease in pressure with altitude!

Question 2

Explain how an aneroid barometer can assist in predicting weather changes when moving from high-pressure to low-pressure systems.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how the pressure reading varies with weather conditions.
