Ameteorologist is monitoring the atmospheric pressure at various cities whose height above sea level varies. the meteorologist determines that the atmospheric pressure decreases by 12% for each additional kilometer the city is above sea level. it has been determined that the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 103 kpa (kilopascals).

determine the atmospheric pressure in the following cities.

a city located 5.2 km above sea level

The atmospheric pressure decreases by 12% for each additional kilometer above sea level=>

Pressure = [Pressure at sea level] * (0.88)^x, where x is the height measured in Km

Pressure = 103 kPa * (0.88)^x

You can see that at sea level x = 0 and Pressure = 103 kPa* (0.88)^0 =103 kPa.

Then, at 5.2 km, x = 5.2 => Pressure = 103 kPa * (0.88)^5.2 = 52.98 kPa

53 kPa

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
