The density of asir ner earth's surface ...

The density of asir ner earth's surface is `1.3kgm^-3` and the atmospheric pressure is `1.0xx10^5Nm^-2`. If the atmosphere had uniform density, same as that observed at the surface of the earth what would be the height of the atmosphere to exert the same pressure?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the height of the atmosphere (h) that would exert the same pressure (P) given the uniform density (ρ) of air near the Earth's surface. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Density of air (ρ) = 1.3 kg/m³ - Atmospheric pressure (P) = 1.0 × 10^5 N/m² - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s² (approximately) ...
