The formula (relation) between the barometric pressure and altitude.
Answer to Problem 48PPS
The formula (relation) is
Explanation of Solution
Given:It is given that the barometric pressure is a linear function of altitude, which means the relationship between barometric pressure and altitude will be linear. Also, the two reading are observed as
Calculation:
From the observation of two points
Now, considering that
The altitude if pressure is 657 millimetre of mercury.
Answer to Problem 48PPS
The altitude
Explanation of Solution
Given: It is given that the barometric pressure is a linear function of altitude, which means the relationship between barometric pressure and altitude will be linear. Also, the two reading are observed as
Calculation:
