Problema Solution
Suppose THER is a 2-degree drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky . If the temperature on the ground which is at sea level is 52degrees what would the temp be at 22,000ft
Answer provided by our tutors
sea level is 0 ft and has temperature of 52 degrees
since 22000 - 0 = 22000 and 22000 = 22*1000 the temperature will drop by 22*2 = 44 degrees
52 degrees - 44 degrees = 8 degrees
the temperature at 22,000ft will be 8 degrees.
