(a)
Answer to Problem 58E
The height is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The altitude of an aircraft is in part affected by the outside air pressure is determined by the equation
Here, h is the altitude in miles,
Normally
Calculation:
The altitude of the aircraft is,
Then, the height for the given pressure is,
(b)
To Find: The air pressure outside the jet if a jet's altitude is 4.3 miles above sea level.
(b)
Answer to Problem 58E
The value of the pressure is
Explanation of Solution
The altitude of the aircraft is,
Then, the pressure is,
Then the pressure for the 4.3 mil altitude is,
