Chapter 15, Problem 63(choose chapter or problem)
A probe descending through Mars atmosphere records pressure as a function of altitude; the data are in the table below. Plot the natural logarithm of the pressure versus altitude and fit a line to your plotted points. Marss atmospheric pressure is governed by the same equation that describes Earths; see 70. Use your fitted line, in connection with that equation, to determine (a) Marss surface pressure and (b) the scale height h0. Altitude (km) 10 20 30 40 50 60 Pressure (Pa) 242 98.7 37.6 16.2 7.21 2.38
