Question

What percent is the air density at the summit of Mount Everest relative to the air density at sea level?

Answer 1

43.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

The air density at the sea level ρ_s = 1.25 kg/m^3.

also, air density at the top of the mountain where ρ_t = 0.547 kg/m^3.

taking temp as --50° C and pressure as 1/3 of P_atm.

therefore, t percent is the air density at the summit of Mount Everest relative to the air density at sea level

=
`(\rho_t)/(\rho_s)*100`

=
`(0.547)/(1.25)*100`

=43.76 %
