The Rate of Change of Atmospheric Pressure P with Respect $15 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$

question 36

Short Answer

The rate of change of atmospheric pressure P with respect to altitude h is proportional to P provided that the temperature is constant. At $15 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ the pressure is $100.5 \mathrm { kPa }$ at sea level and $82.38 \mathrm { kPa }$ at $h = 1,070$ . What is the pressure at an altitude of $1,000 \mathrm {~m}$ ?
