At a particular sea level location at a particular time the atmospheric pressure is 14.8 lbs/in^2 and the temperature is 80 degrees F. Estimate the temperature, pressure, and air density at an altitude of 8,000 ft.

30.52 °F

1572 lbs/ft²

0.0019 slug/ft³

Explanation:

Given that

Pressure at sea level, P₁ = 14.8 PSI

Temperature, T₁ = 80 °F

At 8,000 ft (m) altitude

for altitude h, less than 36000 ft, the model used to modify temperature and pressure is written below

T = 59 - 0.00356h, where h is the altitude

T = 59 - 0.00356(8,000)

T = 59 - 28.48

T = 30.52 °F

Next, we find the pressure which is calculated using the formula

P = 2116 [(T + 459.7)/518.6]^5.256

P = 2116 [(30.52 + 459.7) / 518.6]^5.256

P = 2116 [490.22/518.6]^5.256

P = 2116 (0.945)^5.256

P = 2116 * 0.743

P = 1572 lbs/ft²

The density is gotten using the formula

ρ = P / [1718 (T + 459.7)]

ρ = 1572 / [1718 (30.52 + 459.7)]

ρ = 1572 / (1718 * 490.22)

ρ = 1572 / 842198

ρ = 0.0019 slug/ft³

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
