Question Base of cloud??

Question Base of cloud??

(OP)
Hey I just have a question. Can anyone please help me out...here it is....If the temperature is +14 degrees C, the Dew Point +2 degrees C and there is some surface heating producing convective cloud, what is the base of that cloud? (dry adiabatic lapse rate = -3 degrees C/1000 ft)

thanks
