At 12 km in the standard atmosphere, the pressure, density, and temperature are 1.9399 × 104 N/m², 3.1194 × 10−¹ kg/m³, and
216.66 K, respectively. Using these values, calculate the standard atmospheric values of pressure, density, and temperature at an
altitude of 18 km, and check with the standard altitude tables.
