Question

1. When an aircraft attempts to climb as rapidly as possible, its climd rate decreases with altitude (this occurs because the air is less dense at higher altitudes). The table shows performance data for a single-engine aircraft.

Altitude (feet)	0	1,000	2,000	3,000	4,000	5,000	6,000	7,000	8,000	9,000	10,000
Climb Rate (feet/min)	925	875	830	780	730	685	635	585	535	490	440

a) Using one to two complete sentences, describe what the climb rate values mean

b) If you were to find the area under the graph of Climb Rate versus Altitude, what are the final units of measure (and nope, not time or minutes) and describe what the final units of measure reveal about the menaing of the area.

c) Using the left-hand and right-hand sums, calculate upper and lower estimates for the time required for this aircraft to climb from sea level to 10,000 feet

d) What extra information would allow you to improve your estimate in part (c)? Be as specific as possible in one to two complete sentences.
