Understanding Atmospheric Pressure Changes with Altitude**Scenario:**It was reported that on a particular day in Saint Cloud, MN, the atmospheric pressure was 94,500 Pa at the ground level. A student wants to measure the pressure using a barometer at 2 meters above the ground level. To calculate the expected pressure in Pascals (Pa), consider that the atmospheric pressure decreases by 11.5 Pa per meter of altitude increase.**Question:**How much pressure in Pa is the student expected to find at 2 meters above ground level?**Given Data:**- Ground Level Pressure: 94,500 Pa- Altitude Difference: 2 meters- Pressure Decrease Rate: 11.5 Pa/meter**Calculation:**1. Calculate the total pressure decrease over 2 meters.\[ \text{Total Pressure Decrease} = \text{Altitude Difference} \times \text{Pressure Decrease Rate} \]\[ \text{Total Pressure Decrease} = 2 \, \text{meters} \times 11.5 \, \text{Pa/meter} = 23 \, \text{Pa} \]2. Subtract the total pressure decrease from the ground level pressure to find the pressure at 2 meters above ground.\[ \text{Pressure at 2 meters} = \text{Ground Level Pressure} - \text{Total Pressure Decrease} \]\[ \text{Pressure at 2 meters} = 94,500 \, \text{Pa} - 23 \, \text{Pa} = 94,477 \, \text{Pa} \]**Expected Pressure:**The student is expected to find 94,477 Pa at 2 meters above the ground level.
