AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how high the atmosphere should extend given the density at sea level and assuming it remains constant, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - Density of the atmosphere at sea level, \( \rho = 1.29 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Pressure at sea level, \( P = 1.01 \times 10^5 \, \text{Pa} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g \approx 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ...
