A pilot records the atmospheric pressure outside its plane as 63cm of Hg while a ground observer records a reading of 75cm of Hg for the atmospheric pressure on the ground. Assuming that the density of the atmosphere is constant, calculate the height of the plane above the ground. (Relative density of Hg = 13.0 and that of air = 0.00013)

I believe you will understand my solution to the problem. Thank you.

P=height x g x R.D

∆P=75-63
=12
g= 10
R.D= den.in air/ den. in water💦

the straight formula to use is
note(p used in this context is density) so..
....Ho means above the sea level
Hi means at an altitude....
P of mercury/P of air(Ho-Hi)
