Answer:
Air pressure = [tex]4.6\frac{\text{lb}}{\text{in}^{2} }[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Relationship between air pressure and altitude can be modeled by,
P = 14.7e[tex]14.7e^{-0.00004h}[/tex]
Where P = Air pressure
and h = altitude above the sea level
Air pressure on Mount Everest having altitude = 29028 feet abve the sea level will be,
P = [tex]14.7e^{-0.00004\times 29028}[/tex]
= [tex]14.7\times e^{-1.16112}[/tex]
= 4.603
≈ 4.6 [tex]\frac{\text{lb}}{\text{in}^{2} }[/tex]
Therefore, air pressure on Mount Everest = 4.6 [tex]\frac{\text{lb}}{\text{in}^{2} }[/tex]
