HELP ME ASAP PLS Consider: Air Pressure at 1500m, in kPa Round to two (2) decimal places 7. Estimate the vapor pressure, air pressure, relative humidity, and air density at a height of 1800 m into the atmosphere. The total pressure is 101 kPa, air temperature is 25°C and the dew point temperature is 15°C near the ground, the lapse rate 7.5°C/km, which is constant for both air temperature and dew point temperature. The gas constant R is 287 J/kg-K and constant with respect to altitude.
