QUESTION:

Problem 32DQ

In addition to the normal cooking directions printed on the back of a box of rice, there are also “high-altitude directions.” The only difference is that the “high-altitude directions” suggest increasing the cooking time and using a greater volume of boiling water in which to cook the rice. Why should the directions depend on the altitude in this way?

Problem 32DQ

In addition to the normal cooking directions printed on the back of a box of rice, there are also “high-altitude directions.” The only difference is that the “high-altitude directions” suggest increasing the cooking time and using a greater volume of boiling water in which to cook the rice. Why should the directions depend on the altitude in this way?

ANSWER:

Solution 32DQ

As you go to high altitude, the pressure decreases exponentially and you will get very low atmospheric pressure there.
