10. The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 14.6 psia at the beginning of a hiking trip and 13.9 psia at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the vertical distance he/she climbed. Assume the average air density of 0.074 lbm/ft' and take g = 31.8 ft/s².
