The atmospheric pressure at an altitude of x kilometers is f (x) g/cm 2 (grams per square
Question:
The atmospheric pressure at an altitude of x kilometers is f (x) g/cm2 (grams per square centimeter), where f(x) = 1035e-0.12x. Give approximate answers to the following questions using the graphs of f (x) and f′(x) shown in Fig. 2.
(a) What is the pressure at an altitude of 2 kilometers?
(b) At what altitude is the pressure 200 g/cm2?
(c) At an altitude of 8 kilometers, at what rate is the atmospheric pressure changing (with respect to change in altitude)?
(d) At what altitude is the atmospheric pressure falling at the rate of 100 g/cm2 per kilometer?
