Question

Atmospheric pressure (the pressure of air around you) decreases as you go higher. It decreases about 12% for every 1000 m. The pressure at sea level is about 1013 hPa, 1. What would the pressure be on the roof of the Empire State Building (381 m) 2. and at the top of Mount Everest (8848 m)?

Step 1

- For 381 m: decrease fraction = 0.12 × (381/1000) = 0.04572 (4.572%). - Pressure = 1013 hPa × (1 − 0.04572) ≈ 1013 × 0.95428 ≈ 966.7 hPa. - Answer: about 967 hPa on the Empire State Building roof. Show more…
