2. A weatherman carried an aneroid barometer from the ground floor to his office atop the Sears Tower in Chicago. On the ground level, the barometer read 30.150 in Hg absolute; topside it read 28.607 in Hg absolute. Assume that the average atmospheric air density was 0.075 lb/cu ft and estimate the height of the building.

Engineering Standards and Codes

Standards are technical publications designed to ensure the reliability of goods, products, methods, or services. They establish technical requirements, specifications, guidelines, features, or design procedures. Standards recommend a set of tolerance for design, processes, operations, production methods, or equipments used in a particular area. Standards are not legally binding unless they are accepted as code or regulation.
