A weatherman carried an aneroid barometer from the ground floor to his office at the top of Sears Tower in Chicago. On the ground level, the barometer read 30.25 inches of Hg; topside it read 28.45 inches of Hg. Assume that the average atmospheric air density was 0.075 lb/ft', estimate the height of the building.
