The density of atmospheric air varies with elevation,decreasing with increasing

Chapter 2, Problem 2-19

(choose chapter or problem)

The density of atmospheric air varies with elevation,decreasing with increasing altitude. (a) Usingthe data given in the table, obtain a relation for the variationof density with elevation, and calculate the density at an elevationof 7000 m. (b) Calculate the mass of the atmosphereusing the correlation you obtained. Assume the earth to be aperfect sphere with a radius of 6377 km, and take the thicknessof the atmosphere to be 25 km.r, km r,kg/m36377 1.2256378 1.1126379 1.0076380 0.90936381 0.81946382 0.73646383 0.66016385 0.52586387 0.41356392 0.19486397 0.088916402 0.04008
