Kevin's favorite hiking route is on the foothills of Rocky's in Colorado. Kevin's barometer reads 740 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 630 mbars at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the vertical distance Kevin climbed. Assume an average air density of 1.20 kg/m³. Hint: mbar is millibar, and pressure drops with altitude.
