Chapter 12, Problem 27T

(a)

To determine

To calculate: The value of $P\left(2500\right)$ for $P\left(x\right)=760e^{-0.000122x}$, if Atmospheric pressure $P$ decreases exponentially with altitude $x$ according to:

$P\left(x\right)=760e^{-0.000122x}$

Where, $P\left(x\right)$ is the pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and $x$ is the altitude measured in meters.

(b)

To determine

To calculate: The atmospheric pressure at sea level if $P\left(x\right)=760e^{-0.000122x}$.

(c)

To determine

To calculate: The altitude at which atmospheric pressure is $633\text{ mmHg}$ if $P\left(x\right)=760e^{-0.000122x}$.
