Chapter 4, Problem 11P

Early explorers often estimated altitude by measuring the temperature of boiling water. Use the following two equations to make a table that modernday hikers could use for the same purpose.

$p=29.921(1-6.8753\times {10}^{-6}h)$ , $T_b=49.161\ln p+44.932$

where p is atmospheric pressure in inches of mercury, T_bis boiling temperature in °F, and h is altitude in feet. The table should have two columns, the first altitude and the second boiling temperature. The altitude should range between 500 ft and 10000 ft at Increments of 500 ft.
