Question:

The golfer in Fig. 2.39 on a very humid day states that the ball doesn't travel as far because of the heavy air. If the air were less humid at the same pressure and location, would the ball have traveled further? Explain, referring to the ideal-gas law and the fact that the drag FD on the golf ball is proportional to the density of the air: FD = ρAѴ2 / 2.
