The density of the atmosphere at sea lev...

The density of the atmosphere at sea level is `1.29 kg//m^(3)`. Assume that it does not change with altitude. Then how high would the atmosphere extend ? `g=9.8 ms^(-2)`. Atmospheric pressure `=1.013 xx 10^(5) Pa`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find how high the atmosphere would extend, we can use the relationship between pressure, density, gravitational acceleration, and height. The formula we will use is: \[ P = \rho g h \] Where: - \( P \) is the atmospheric pressure (in Pascals), - \( \rho \) is the density of the atmosphere (in kg/m³), - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (in m/s²), ...
