You’ve probably all seen the demonstration where a card is put over the mouth of a glass of water and when the glass is flipped over and the card is released, the water doesn’t fall out. This is caused by the air pressure pushing up being stronger than the weight of the water pushing down. The cup that was used for this demo holds 110 mL of water. One mL of water weighs one gram. Air pressure is 13.5 pounds per square inch (lbs/sq. in.). How many square inches must the cup be for this trick to work? (1 pound = 453 grams) A. 18 in 2 B..20 in 2 C..018 in 2 D. 12 in 2 solution
110 ml 1 1 gram 1 mL 1 pound 453 grams 1 sq. inch 13.5 pounds = sq. in. 2 significant figures,.018 sq. in.
