(choose chapter or problem)

Under normal conditions the temperature of the atmospheredecreases with increasing elevation. In some situations, however, atemperature inversion may exist so that the air temperature increaseswith elevation. A series of temperature probes on a mountaingive the elevationtemperature data shown in the table below. Ifthe barometric pressure at the base of the mountain is 12.1 psia,determine by means of numerical integration the pressure at thetop of the mountain.Elevation (ft) Temperature (F) 5000 50.1 (base) 5500 55.2 6000 60.3 6400 62.6 7100 67.0 7400 68.4 8200 70.0 8600 69.5 9200 68.0 9900 67.1 (top)
