Example 1.12. A basic barometer can be used as an altitude measuring device in aeroplanes. ground control reports a barometric reading of 750 mm of mercury while the pilot's reading is 690 mm of mercury. Estimate the altitude of the plane from the ground level if the average specific weight of air is 11.97 N/m.
