How sensitive is Laplace's law to temperature? Assuming the temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit, find the atmospheric pressure at the top of the Sandias assuming that the pressure at sea level is 1 atm. Compare this with the same result assuming 70 degrees F. What is the percent change in pressure, AP/P x 100? What is the percent change in pressure as compared to the percent change in temperature (AP/P)/(AT/T) (Don't forget to convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin)
