Honestly, I don't know how you guys got Newton involved.

How about a (better) hypothetical?

The imaginary aircraft is sitting at Imaginary Airfield (KIMG), which
sits at a billiards-table-flat 50 MSL. The aircraft's static port is
mounted at the centerline of the fuselage, which is 10 feet from the
ground. The instrument in question is mounted 4 feet above the centerline.

What will the gauge read when set to the proper barometric scale? 50,
60, or 64 feet?

Not enough potential aswers, you for got:

Under IFR

Under VFR
