Question
The atmosphere becomes colder at higher elevation. As an average the standard atmospheric absolute temperature can be expressed as $T_{\mathrm{atm}}=$ $288-6.5 \times 10^{-3} z,$ where $z$ is the elevation in meters. How cold is it outside an airplane cruising at $12000 \mathrm{m}$ expressed in Kelvin and in Celsius.
Step 1
We can do this by substituting the given elevation, $z = 12000 \, m$, into the given formula for the standard atmospheric absolute temperature, $T_{\mathrm{atm}} = 288 - 6.5 \times 10^{-3} z$. Show more…
