    The document describes a problem involving the decrease in air pressure and equivalent head in inches of water corresponding to a rise in elevation of 1000 feet. It states that assuming the unit weight of air is constant at 0.0765 lbs per cubic foot, the approximate decrease in pressure in pounds per square inch is 0.531 psi. This decrease also equates to a head of 14.7 inches of water. The solution is compared to data in a table on page 16 of the referenced material.

    PROBLEM NO.

    1
    ASSUMING THE UNIT WEIGHT OF AIR CONSTANT AT 0.0765 LB
    PER CU FT, WHAT IS THE APPROXIMATE DECREASE IN PRESSURE IN
    POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH CORRESPONDING TO A RISE IN ELEVATION
    OF 1000 FT? COMPARE WITH THE TABLE ON PAGE 16. EXPRESS THE
    DECREASE ALSO IN TERMS OF EQUIVALENT HEAD IN INCHES OF WATER.

    SOLUTION:

    A.)
    ΔP = wH
    LB 1 FT²
    ΔP = 0.0765 FT³ X 1000 FT ( 144 IN²)

    ΔP = 0.531 PSI

    B.)
    0.531 LB
    IN² -> IN. of H20

    H = wP
    LB LB 1 FT
    H = 0.531 IN² / 62.4 FT³ ( 12 IN)³

    H = 14.7 IN. of WATER
