The density of air in atomsphere decreas...

The density of air in atomsphere decreases with height and can be expressed by the relation.
`rho=rho_(0)e^(-Ah)`
Where `rho_(0)` is the density at sea-level, A is a constant and h is the height. Calculate the atmospheric pressure at sea -level. assume g to be constant. `9.8m//s^(2), rho_(0) =1.3 kg//m^(3)` and `A=1.2xx10^(-4) m^(-1)`

(a). It is known that density rho of air decreases with height y as rho=rho_(0)e^(-y//y(_o)) ltb rgt where p_(o)=1.25kgm^(-3) is the density at sea level, and y_(o) is a constant. This density variation is called the law of atmospheres. Obtain this law assuming that the temperature of atmosphere remains a constant (isothermal conditions). Also assume that the value of g remains constant (b). A large He balloon of volume 1425m^(3) is used to lift a payload of 400 kg. Assume that the balloon maintains constant radius as it rises.
