Question:

An engineer living at a an elevation of 2500 ft is conducting experiments to verify predictions of glider performance. To process data, density of ambient air is needed. Th e engineer measures temperature (74.3°F) and atmospheric pressure (27.3 inches of mercury). Calculate density in units of kg/m3. Compare the calculated value with data from Table A.2 and make a recommendation about the effects of elevation on density; that is, are the effects of elevation significant?
