Question

The atmospheric pressure on an object decreases as altitude increases. If a is the height (in km) above sea level, then the pressure P (a) (in mmHg) is approximated by P (a)=760e^-0.13a
(a) Find the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
(b) Determine the atmospheric pressure at 4.996 km (the altitude of Mount Blackburn). Round to the nearest whole unit. Do not round intermediate calculations.
