Bernoulli's equation
Not what you're looking for?
An airplane flying at high altitude contains 100m^3 of air at STP(273 degrees and 1 atm). If a 1-cm^2 hole suddenly develops in the cabin wall, how long will it take for cabin pressure to drop by half?

Solution Summary
Bernoulli's equation is applied. The cabin pressure applied in an airplane flying at high altitude are given.
Solution Preview
So you need Bernoulli's equation to solve this.
Inside the cabin you are at STP - so you know P1 and the specific gravity of air at STP...
I suggest that you assume p2 is zero (high altitude). That ...
