Question

10 -1 points HPrecalc5 5.3.080. My Notes Ask Your Teacher The height h above sea level (in meters) is related to air temperature t (in degrees Celsius), the atmospheric pressure p (in centimeters of mercury at height h), and the atmospheric pressure cat sea level by the formula h (30t 8000) Inc/p) A mountain is 7300 meters high. What is the atmospheric pressure at the top of the mountain on a day when the temperature is -15°C and the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 75 centimeters? Round your answer to one decimal place.) centimeters of mercury Need Help? Talk to a Tutor

Explanation / Answer

h = (30t + 8000)ln(c/p)

h = 7300 m , t = -15°C , c=75cm

Now, 7300 = [30(-15)+8000] ln(75/p)

7300 = 7550 ln(75/p)

0.966 = ln(75/p)

e0.966 = 75/p
