Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h
Solution:
P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)
Air pressure: P(h)
Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h
Air pressure at the sea level: Po
Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:
h=?, P(h)=85% Po
P(h)=(85/100) Po
P(h)=0.85 Po
Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:
P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)
0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)
