PROBLEM 4: The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of a building are 29.7" and 28.7" Hg. respectively, determine the height of the building in feet. Assume an average air density of 0.0023 slug/ft3 (1 slug = 32.174 Ib) and SG of Hg = 13.55. Piop = 28.7" Hg h = ? Ph29.7" Hg
