Your science teacher has assigned you the task of building a water barometer. You have
learned that the pressure of the atmosphere can vary by as much as 5% from 1 standard
atmosphere as the weather changes.
(a) What minimum height must your barometer have?
(b) One stormy day the TV weather person says, “The barometric pressure this afternoon
is a low 29.55 inches.” What is the height of the water in your barometer?
