@jim_thompson5910 hey would you be able to help me with another calc problem?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for this problem, i have never seen before i dont even think we went over this in class

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what happens when you plug in n = 6198

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait i was thinking of a different problem i got it to equal P=P0e^-0.74376

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

e^-0.74376 = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that going to come out to an actual number?

OpenStudy (gorv):

that will be (p/p0) *100

OpenStudy (gorv):

p is pressure at height and p0 at sea level

OpenStudy (gorv):

in your equation bring p0 on left hand side and multipy whole equation by 100 abd put value of h and calculate

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes e^(-0.74376) will give some number since e = 2.718 approximately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6.35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.475

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you end up with P = 0.475*p0 effectively saying that the pressure at height h = 6198 meters is roughly 47.5% of the pressure at sea level

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome so for the second one it would be 23.7%

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

getting the same

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your the best, thanks a bunch! was stuk on that one for a while
