At what height is a Piper Cub whose instruments record an outside temperature of 0°C and a barometric pressure of 300 millimeters of mercury?


In problem, use the following result: If x is the atmospheric pressure (measured in millimeters of mercury), then the formula for the altitude h(x) (measured in meters above sea level) is

Po (307 + 8000) log h(x)

where T is the temperature (in degrees Celsius) and P0 is the atmospheric pressure at sea level, which is approximately 760 millimeters of mercury.

Po (307 + 8000) log h(x)
