Question

If the temperature of Pokhara lying at an altitude of 900m is 20 degree celsius calculate the temperature of mt everest base camp lying at an altitudeof 6000m​

Answer 1

Given :

The temperature of Pokhara lying at an altitude of 900 m is 20 degree Celsius.

To Find :

The temperature of MT Everest base camp lying at an altitude of 6000 m​.

Solution :

Let, temperature at 6000 m height of MT Everest is T.

So, by proportionality constant :

$H_1T_1 = H_2T_2\\\\T_1 =\dfrac{H_2T_2}{H_1}\\\\T_1 = \dfrac{900\times 20}{6000}\\\\T_1 =3^oC$

Therefore, the temperature of MT Everest base camp lying at an altitude of 6000 m​  is 3°C .
