Final answer:
The density altitude can be determined through complex calculations considering temperature and pressure effects. For the conditions given, the density altitude will be higher due to the temperature but also influenced by the high pressure setting, without precise computation, we cannot provide an exact value. Additionally, a water column calculation at normal atmospheric pressure and a given density can be used to exemplify principles related to density and pressure.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the density altitude for the given conditions, we must first adjust the airport elevation for non-standard pressure and temperature. We start with the given airport elevation of 3,894 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level). The altimeter setting of 30.35 inches of Mercury (Hg) indicates high pressure, which would result in a lower density altitude. However, this effect is somewhat countered by the higher than standard temperature of +25 °F, which would increase the density altitude.
To calculate the precise density altitude, we would typically use the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions and corrections for non-standard temperature and pressure conditions. In this specific scenario, without the necessary conversion formulas or tables handy, we will acknowledge that the density altitude is likely to be somewhat higher than the airport elevation due to the temperature effect but potentially lower than the standard correction for pressure. Without precise computation, we cannot provide an accurate number for the density altitude.
The Table A3 Altitude to Air Density Relationship and calculations of air density versus altitude with the given rise and run indicate how air density decreases with an increase in altitude, providing general information relevant to estimating density altitude. The discussion regarding the relationship between altitude and air density, as seen in the graph showing the point at the top of Mount Everest and its corresponding air density, further emphasizes that as you ascend in altitude, air density decreases.
We can also address the Check Your Learning question by calculating the height of a water column at 25 °C that corresponds to atmospheric pressure. Given that the density of water at this temperature is 1.0 g/cm³, we use the formula for pressure (P = h * d * g, where h is the height of the water column, d is the density of the water, and g is the acceleration due to gravity) to find the height when P equals normal atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pascals).
