As shown in Fig. 2.6 for the U.S. standard atmosphere, thetroposphere extends to an altitude of 11 km where the pressureis 22.6 kPa (abs). In the next layer, called the stratosphere, the temperature remains constant at 56.5 C. Determine the pressureand density in this layer at an altitude of 15 km. Assume g = 9.77 m/s2in your calculations. Compare your results with those given inTable C.2 in Appendix C.
POLS Week 2 Framework for Political Decision Making: Power- Ability to influence or control decisions. Who has the power to influence decisions Goals- Policy preferences and objectives. What does the person in power want to accomplish Rules- Things that limit what you can do/affect what you can do. Context/situation- What is happening at the moment the decision is being made Examples: P: Will US go to war with North Korea Look at President, then secretary of defense, and other people trying to influence the president. Look at leader of N.K. G: Majority of Americans want more gun control, but NRA gives people money to vote for them, etc. Intense minority can defeat a lukewarm majority. R: City wants to build dam, and can use different elections to influence results. Plurality, binary, and majority. Binary = two options at a time against each other. Largest % wins. (He mentioned a test question would be similar to the binary election example.) C: Treatment of Japanese Americans in WW2. FDR put out order that Japanese americans had a curfew on the west coast. Second order leave the west coast. Third sent them to concentration camps. Approx. 120000 people picked up, and they remained there until the war ended. None charged with a crime. Was it legal or constitutional Absolutely not. They got away with it because of the context. People were afraid and angry at the Japanese, and there were no protests of the orders as a result. Context can also include historical events.
