At ground level in Denver, Colorado, the atmospheric pressure and temperature are (83.2 mathrm{kPa}) and (25^{circ} mathrm{C}).

Question:

At ground level in Denver, Colorado, the atmospheric pressure and temperature are \(83.2 \mathrm{kPa}\) and \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Calculate the pressure on Pike's Peak at an elevation of \(2690 \mathrm{~m}\) above the city assuming

(a) an incompressible and

(b) an adiabatic atmosphere. Plot the ratio of pressure to ground level pressure in Denver as a function of elevation for both cases.
