Variation of atmospheric pressure, with height from earth is

(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.

The top surface of an incompressible liquid is open to the atmosphere. The pressure at a depth h_(1) below the surface is p_(1) . What is the pressure p_(2) at depth h_(2) = 2h_(1) compare with p_(1) ?

Speed of sound in atmosphere at a height h_(0)' is 1080 km hr^( –1) . The variation of temperature and pressure of the atmosphere with height h from the surface is given by T=T_(0)- beta h and P=P_(0) (1-(betah)/T_(0))^((Mg)/(R beta)) Where T_(0)= temperature at the surface of the earth =273 K , P_(0)= atmospheric pressure at the surface of the earth, beta=0.006 .^(@)C//m, M= molar mass of air cong 29 g mol^(-1), g=9.8 ms^(-2) R= gas constant =8.31 J mol^(-1) K^(-1) consider air to be a mixture of diatomic hases and calculate the atmospheric temperature and pressure at height h_(0) . Also find h_(0) . Take (0.82)^(5.7)=0.32 .

Deoes the atmospheric pressure vary with the height above the earth's surface?

The pressure exerted by a liquid of height h is given by(symbols have their usuall meanings)

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)
