Chapter 1, Problem 31P
Calculate the density of standard air in a laboratory from the ideal gas equation of state. Estimate the experimental uncertainty in the air density calculated for standard conditions (29.9 in. of mercury and 59°F) if the uncertainty in measuring the barometer height is ±0:1 in. of mercury and the uncertainty in measuring temperature is ±0:5°F. (Note that 29.9 in. of mercury corresponds to 14.7 psia.)
