On the mountain in Kalinga ,a mountain biker carried an aneroid barometer in his bike from base to top. On the ground level, the barometer read 35.12 in. Hg absolute; topside it read 26.807 in. hg absolute. Supposing that the average atmospheric air density was 0.075 lb/ft^3, estimate the height and slope distance of the mountain if the average slope angle is 32 degrees .
