The average temperature of the atmosphere in the world is

Chapter 1, Problem 95P

(choose chapter or problem)

The average temperature of the atmosphere in the world is approximated as a function of altitude by the relation

                                  \(T_{\mathrm{atm}}=288.15-6.5 \mathrm{z}\)

where \(T_{\text {atm }}\) is the temperature of the atmosphere in \(\mathrm{K}\) and \(z\) is the altitude in \(\mathrm{km}\) with \(z=0\) at sea level. Determine the average temperature of the atmosphere outside an airplane that is cruising at an altitude of \(12,000 \mathrm{~m}\).
