Okay, here is one for the maths gurus on the forums.
I have the following formula https://i.imgur.com/h8v2KSo.jpg Can one of you smart people help me solve the formula for P0? As in P0=???
Any help greatly appreciated, :)

5.257 / 0.0065 h \ P0 = P x | -------- + 1 | \ T+273.15 /

it is either 1 or 0 , or maybe 5.257 if I bothered to actually work it out :)

P0 = 10^(5.257log(((0.0065h)/(T+273.15)+1))+log(P))

Jasper the mathematical genius to the rescue again 😊

You're welcome.
I kind of understand what's going on (calculating altitude based on a pressure and temperature measurement) but I don't know where the power of 5.257 comes from. :) Something with gas laws I guess?
Edit: Lyee's solution is also correct, by the way. But maybe slightly more convoluted :p

I forgot we can simply "power" the both side :)

thanks folks, appreciate the rapid and helpful replies :)

It is related to building an Arduino altimeter for this project that I am working on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTWVO9AMYKc :)

Ooh fun stuff! :) We did a water rocket project during our first year at uni but it was without the parachute or other fancy stuff. That's impressive. :)

I just wonder what you guys like most.. that maths stuff or shooting rockets ;)
