Assume the wheel rotates at a rate of 1.5 revolutions per minute.
Answer (i) & (ii), please.
Question 1:Atmospheric pressure P decreases as altitude h increases. At a temperature of
15°C, the pressure is 101.3 kilopascals (kPa) at sea level, 87.1 kPa at h = 1
km, and 74.9 kPa at h = 2 km. Use a linear approximation to estimate the
atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 3 km.
