What will be the atmospheric pressure at the top of the mountain if at the bottom is 740mm

What will be the atmospheric pressure at the top of the mountain if at the bottom is 740mm and the height of the mountain is 3150m?

To solve the problem, first it is necessary to indicate that for every 10.5 meters of height, atmospheric pressure decreases by 1 mm Hg.

Find the height ratio.

To do this, we divide the height of the mountain by a constant value of the height.

3150 / 10.5 = 300 mm Hg (This is how much the atmospheric pressure at the top of the mountain will drop).

Determine the atmospheric pressure at the top.

To do this, we subtract 300 mm Hg from the atmospheric pressure at the foot of the mountain.

We get:

740 – 300 = 440 mm Hg

Answer: Atmospheric pressure at the top is 440 mm Hg.
