A pilot notices that the barometer pressure outside his aircraft is 800 mbars. The airport below the plane reports a barometric pressure of 1020 mbar. If the air density averages
1.15 kg/m3 and the local gravity is 9.70 m/s2, determine the height of the aircraft above the ground, in meters.
Pplane = barometric Pressure
air density
g = local gravity
hplane = height of the aircraft above the ground
