Obtain the barometric formula ( 1.27) from the Boltzmann distribution. Recall that the potential energy of a particle at height h above the surface of the Earth is mgh. Convert the barometric formula from pressure to number density, N . Compare the relative number densities, N (h)/N (0), for O2 and H2O at h = 8.0 km, a typical cruising altitude for commercial aircraft.
