a pilot records the atmospheric pressure outside his plane as 63cm of Hg while a ground observer records a reading of 75cm of Hg with his barometer. Assuming that the density of air is constant, calculate the height of the plane above the ground. (take the relative densities of air and mecury as 0.00136 and 13.6 respectively)
The earth is not a perfect sphere because its equatorial axis is longer than the polar axis. where on the earth's surface would an object have its greatest weight?
