| What is the atmospheric pressure at the top of Roman-Kosh (Crimea), if in the city of Zaporozhye (absolute height 75 m) the pressure is 740 mm Hg? Art.?
1) Find the height difference: 1545 m – 75 m = 1470 m
2) Determine how many mm Hg. Art. the atmospheric pressure will change when rising to 1470 m:
h × ΔР = 1470 m × 1 mm Hg. Art. : 10 m = 147 mm Hg. Art.
3) Find the atmospheric pressure on the Roman-Kosh mountain:
740 mmHg Art. – 147 mm Hg. Art. = 593 mm Hg. Art.
Answer: atmospheric pressure at the top of Roman-Kosh = 593 mm Hg. Art.
