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 102.09962 kPa absolute; topside it read 28.607 in. Hg absolute. Assume that the average atmospheric air density was 0.075 lb/ft3 and estimate the height of the building. 1455 ft 1889 ft 1250 ft 1355 ft

The climbers resolved three temperatures between the highest Brazilian peaks, the first took an altimeter that recorded the barometric pressure and recorded the following data at the base (pressure 101 kPa and temperature 16 degrees Celsius), at the highest altitude reached (pressure of 77 kPa and temperature of zero degrees Celsius). The second climber took an altimeter that measured the altitude considering the temperature, in this case the data he presented constant to the referee were at the base (pressure 101 kPa and temperature 12 degrees Celsius) and at the highest altitude raised (pressure 70 kPa). The last climber took an altimeter that considered the density of the constant to be 1.22 kg/m, measured at the base (pressure of 101 kPa and temperature of 10 degrees Celsius) and given at the highest altitude reached (pressure of 72 kPa). . Considering the determination of each, determine the altitude reached by each climber)
