To calculate:The altitude of the helicopter relative to sea level.
Answer to Problem 11P
The altitude of the helicopter relative to sea level is 32m.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Lowest point of Death Valley=86m
Helicopter altitude=41m
The helicopter climbed=28m
The helicopter dropped=37m
Calculation:
According to question,
The helicopter climbed=28m
Therefore,
The helicopter altitude = 69m
Again,
The helicopter dropped=37m
Therefore,
The helicopter altitude = 32m
So, The altitude of the helicopter relative to sea level = 32m.
