Answer

$h=849.47$

Work Step by Step

$750mbars*\frac{0.1kPa}{1mbar}=75kPa$ $650mbars*\frac{0.1kPa}{1mbar}=65kPa$ Assuming $1$ as the beginning and $2$ as the end, and knowing that: $P=\rho*g*h$ $h_{1}=\frac{P_{1}}{\rho*g}=\frac{75kPa}{1.20\frac{kg}{m^3}*9.81\frac{m}{s^2}}=6371.05m$ $h_{2}=\frac{P_{2}}{\rho*g}=\frac{65kPa}{1.20\frac{kg}{m^3}*9.81\frac{m}{s^2}}=5521.58m$ Then the vertical distance climbed is: $h_{1}-h_{2}=6371.05m-5521.58m=849.47$
