Meteorology The air temperature T (in degrees Fahrenheit) at an altitude h (in feet) above a particular area can be approximated by the formula
where G is the temperature on the ground directly below. If the ground temperature is 76°F, at what altitude will the air temperature drop to freezing, 32°F?
