The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Atmospheric Pressure:** - Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a given point. It is measured in units such as Pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm). 2. **Effect of Altitude on Atmospheric Pressure:** - As we move from a lower height (lower altitude) to a higher height (higher altitude), the amount of air above us decreases. This is because the density of air decreases with altitude. 3. **Conclusion on Atmospheric Pressure Change:** - Since there is less air above us at higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure decreases as we ascend. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that atmospheric pressure decreases when moving from a lower height to a higher height. 4. **Final Answer:** - The atmospheric pressure decreases. ---

What happens when pressure within the pulmonary cavity is higher than the atmospheric pressure?

Assume that the temperature remains essentially constant in the upper parts of the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure varies with height as. (the mean molecular weight of air is M, where P_(0)= atmospheric pressure at ground reference)

(a) Assume the atmosphere as an ideal gas in static equilibrium at constant temperature T0. The pressure on the ground surface is P0. The molar mass of the atmosphere is M. Calculate the atmospheric pressure at height h above the ground. (b) To be more realistic, let as assume that the temperature in the troposphere (lower part of the atmosphere) decreases with height as shown in the figure. Now calculate the atmospheric pressure at a height h0 above the ground.

What are the factors, which effect the atmospheric pressure at a place ?
