The barometric pressure p (in inches of mercury) at an altitude x miles above sea level satisfies
Question:
The barometric pressure p (in inches of mercury) at an altitude x miles above sea level satisfies the initial value problem dp/dx = (-0.2)p, p(0) = 29.92.
(a) Calculate the barometric pressure at 10,000 ft and again at 30,000 ft.
(b) Without prior conditioning, few people can survive when the pressure drops to less than 15 in. of mercury. How high is that?
