AI Generated Solution

To find the height of the atmosphere using the given atmospheric pressure, density of air, and acceleration due to gravity, we can use the hydrostatic pressure formula: \[ P = h \cdot \rho \cdot g \] Where: - \( P \) is the atmospheric pressure, - \( h \) is the height of the atmosphere, - \( \rho \) is the density of air, ...
