Question

1. Given that the atmospheric pressure and density at sea level is 100 kPa and 1.3 kg/m respectively. Calculate the height of the atmosphere if all air in the atmosphere has this density (g = 10 N/kg) ​

Answer 1

P = ρ g H pkgressure due to liquid (gas) of height H

H = 1.00E5 N/m^2 / (1.3 kg / m^3 * 10 N/kg) = 7,700 m
