Pressure — practice question

Some altimeters make use of changes in air pressure to determine height. If the pressure is $100\,\text{kPa}$ at sea level on a particular day, what pressure would be found at the top of an $830\,\text{m}$ hill? (Assume the density of air remains constant at $1.3\,\text{kg m}^{-3}$.)

  • A$1.1\,\text{kPa}$
  • B$11\,\text{kPa}$
  • C$89\,\text{kPa}$
  • D$110\,\text{kPa}$
