Question related pressure. From AS LEVEL Physics. What will be the answer?
The density of air on the Earth decreases almost linearly with height from 1.22kgm–3 at sea level to 0.74 kgm–3 at an altitude of 5000m. Atmospheric pressure at the Earth’s surface on a particular day is 100000Pa. The value of g between the Earth’s surface and an altitude of 5000 m can be considered to have a constant
value of 9.7ms–2. What will be the atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 5000m?
