A student from Isabela State University launched a rocket that has a payload of atmospheric sensors. The payload contains an altimeter and a digital barometer. From one of the University’s class room where they built a data receiving area, the altimeter sends 10 values of altitude, 5600 ft, 5000 ft, 4600ft, 4100 ft, 3800 ft, 3500 ft, 3150 ft, 2900 ft, 2300 ft, and 1300 ft. But the data of the barometer wasn’t sent because of a circuit anomaly. But the programmer assured that it will be recorded in the memory inside the payload’s microcontroller. Assuming the air density to be 1.18 ??/?3, what pressure we should expect depending on the data sent by the altimeter?
