The height of the mountain is 2500m, the atmospheric pressure at the foot is 750 ° mm \ Hg.

The height of the mountain is 2500m, the atmospheric pressure at the foot is 750 ° mm \ Hg. What is the atmospheric pressure at altitude?

1) In the troposphere, with an ascent for every 100 m, atmospheric pressure decreases by 10 mm Hg. Art.

2) This means that when lifting 2500 m, the pressure will decrease by: 2500 m / 100 m * 10 mm Hg. Art. = 250 mm Hg. Art.

3) Find the pressure at the top of the mountain, if at the foot of 750 mm Hg. Art.

2500 – 250 = 2250 mm Hg. Art.

Answer: 2250 mm Hg. Art.
