5. MOUNTAIN CLIMBING As elevation increases, the atmospheric air
pressure decreases. The formula
for pressure based on elevation is
A= 15,500(5 – log10 P), where a is
the altitude in meters and P is the
pressure in pascals (1 psi = 6900
pascals). What is the air pressure
at the summit in pascals for each
mountain listed in the table at the right?
