An altimeter onboard an aeroplane reads an altitude of 8000m before it starts its landing descend. The actual pressure and temperature at the sea level, where the aeroplane lands, are 750 mmHg and 10 deg C respectively. Calculate the following, i) The total descend as indicated by the altimeter readings in meters ii) The true descend in meters The specific gravity of mercury is 13.6 An altimeter onboard an aeroplane reads an altitude of 8000m before it starts its landing descend.
