How do i do this question?
The density of air on the Earth decreases almost linearly with height from 1.22 kg m –3 at sea level
to 0.74 kg m –3 at an altitude of 5000 m.
Atmospheric pressure at the Earth’s surface on a particular day is 100 000 Pa. The value of g
between the Earth’s surface and an altitude of 5000 m can be considered to have a constant
value of 9.7 m s –2 .
What will be the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 5000 m?
OPTIONS:
36000 Pa
48000 Pa
54000 Pa
59000 Pa
