Question

The kilopascal is a unit of measure for atmospheric pressure Suppose the atmospheric air pressure at sea level is about 102 kilopascals. For every 1000-m increase in altitude, the pressure decreases about 11.6% What is the approximate pressure at an altitude of 4000 m?

Answer 1

P(4000) = 102(1.116)^4000/1000
