(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.

36% amount of a radioactive sample disintegrates in t time. Calculate how much percentage fraction will decay in t//2 time.

Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetic. The mean life and half-life of nuclear decay process are tau = 1// lambda and t_(1//2) = 0.693//lambda . Therefore are a number of radioactive elements in nature, their abundance is directly proportional to half life. The amount remaining after n half lives of radioactive elements can be calculated using the relation: N = N_(0) ((1)/(2))^(n) Half life of .^(60)Co is 5.3 years, the time taken for 99.9% decay will be
