Chapter 4, Problem 6

(choose chapter or problem)

Atmospheric pressure decays exponentially as altitude increases. With pressure, P, in inches of mercury and altitude, h, in feet above sea level, we have P = 30e3.23105h. (a) At what altitude is the atmospheric pressure 25 inches of mercury? (b) A glider measures the pressure to be 25 inches of mercury and experiences a pressure increase of 0.1 inches of mercury per minute. At what rate is it changing altitude?
