If the temperature is constant, then the atmospheric pressure P (in pounds/square inch) varies with the altitude above sea level h in accordance with the law , where p?0 is the atmospheric pressure at sea level and k is a constant.

?
If the atmospheric pressure is 17 lb/in.2 at sea level and 12.5 lb/in.2 at 6,000 ft, find the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 18,000 ft. Please round the answer to one decimal place.
?
__________ lb/in.2
