Altimeter Calibration Height
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? TheSmokingGnu
