Question

Assuming a specific weight of air to be constant at 12 N/m^2, what is the approximate height of Mt. Kanlaon if a mercury barometer at the base of the mountain reads 654 mm Hg and at the same time another barometer at the top of the mountain reads 435 mm Hg?

Step 1

Step 1: Convert the pressure readings to SI units (Pascals) At the base of the mountain: 654 mm Hg = 87,200 Pa At the top of the mountain: 435 mm Hg = 58,000 Pa Show more…
