Given:
$P_s=\text{760 mm of Hg (Barometric pressure at sea level)}$
$P_h=\text{725 mm of Hg (Barometric pressure on a mountain)}$
$ρ_a=1.19kg/m^3 \text{(density of air assumed constant with change in elevation)}$
To find:
h (Elevation of the mountain)
Sol:
Now, we know that the difference in barometric (atmospheric) pressure at sea level …
