You and Liza Soberano are in an aircraft flying steadily at 4,300m above sea level and you are about to experience your first sky dive with her. You jumped first but Liza, due to hesitation, jumped after few seconds. Supposed that in an instant, the barometric pressure at your elevation is 85.0 kPa and Liza is higher from you by 800m. Determine the barometric pressure at Liza’s elevation assuming that pressure and temperature at sea level are 101.3 kPa and 25 deg.C respectively. Use lapse rate = 0.00650 K/m
