. We have noted that atmospheric pressure depends on altitude. Atmospheric pressure as a function of altitude can be calculated with an equation known as the barometric formula: In this equation, P and can be in any pressure units, for example, Torr. is the pressure at sea level, generally taken to be 1.00 atm or its equivalent. The units in the exponential term must be SI units, however. Use the barometric formula to (a) estimate the barometric pressure at the top of Mt. Whitney in California (altitude: 14,494 ft; assume a temperature of ) (b) show that barometric pressure decreases by onethirtieth in value for every 900-ft increase in altitude
