The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. why is the roof not crushed?

An implanted pacemaker supplies the heart with 72 pulses per minute, each pulse providing 6.0 v for 0.65 ms. the resistance of the heart muscle between the pacemaker’s electrodes is 550 ω. find (a) the current that flows during a pulse, (b) the energy delivered in one pulse, and (c) the average power supplied by the pacemaker.

During takeoff, the sound intensity level of a jet engine is 170db at a distance of 34 m. what's the sound intensity level at a distance of 1.0 km?

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.
