What is the Relationship Between Altitude and Weight in a Model Rocket?

This experiment was designed to find a function of payload weight for altitude. The same rocket was launched a repeated number of times with the same engine and varying amounts of weight. After performing experimentation, it was calculated that the altitude in meters could be predicted with the equation A = (2.8(W exp 2)) - (70.6W + 310.3), with weight expressed in the unit ounces.
