Chapter 1.11, Problem 91RP
The average atmosphere pressure on earth is approximated as a function of attitude by the relation Patm = 101.325 (1 – 0 02256z)5.256, where Patm is the atmosphere pressure in kPa and z is the altitude in km with z = 0 at sea level. Determine the approximate atmosphere pressures at Atlanta (z = 306 m), Denver (z = 1610 m), Mexico City (z = 2309 m), and the top of Mount Everest (z = 8848 m).

The ground control reports a barometric reading of 753mmHg while the pilot's reading is 690mmHg. Estimate the altitude of the plane from ground level if the average air density is 1.20 kg.m-3 and the barometer fluid is mercury, PHg=13600 kg.m3. To solve this problem determine the atmospheric pressure on the ground and then in the air using the barometric pressure readings. Then using the pressure difference between the ground and the plane, the altitude can be derived by considering a column of air from the ground up to the plane, of constant density, in a similar manner to the barometer.
