In the city of Sochi, the temperature is +20, the plane took off and flew to Moscow, determine the altitude

In the city of Sochi, the temperature is +20, the plane took off and flew to Moscow, determine the altitude at which the plane flies if the temperature overboard is -10.

To solve this problem, you first need to determine the difference between the air temperature on the ground and in the air.

To do this, we subtract the air temperature overboard from the air temperature in Sochi.

Will:

20 – (-10) = 20 + 10 = 30 ° C.

We find the altitude at which the plane is flying.

To do this, we divide the found temperature difference by 0.6 ° С and multiply by 100 meters, since when the altitude changes by 100 meters, the air temperature decreases by 0.6 ° С.

We get:

30 / 0.6 * 100 = 3000 / 0.6 = 5000 meters.

Answer:

5000 m.
