Complete Question

The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 980 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 790 mbars at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the vertical distance climbed. Assume an average air density of 1.20kg/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Pressure

Final Pressure

Density

Generally the equation for Height climbed is mathematically given by

if they have a finite resultant
