An engineer living at an elevation of 2500 ft is conducting experiments to verify predictions of glider performance. To process data, density of ambient air is needed. The engineer measures temperature (74.3°F) and atmospheric pressure (27.3 inches of mercury). Calculate density in units of kg /m3 .Compare the calculated value with data from Table A.3 and make a recommendation about the effects of elevation on density; that is, are the effects of elevation significant? show solution.
