SOLUTION: The air pressure f (s) at a height of s meters above sea level is given by f (s) e0.000125s atmospheres a. The atmospheric pressure outside an airplane is 0.25 atmosphere.

Question 1055185: The air pressure f (s) at a
height of s meters above sea level is given by
f (s) e0.000125s atmospheres
a. The atmospheric pressure outside an airplane is
0.25 atmosphere. How high is the plane?
b. A mountain climber decides she will wear an
oxygen mask once she has reached an altitude of
7,000 meters. What is the atmospheric pressure
at this altitude?
