The density of atmosphere at sea level is 1.29


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 300 People


The density of the atmosphere at sea level is 1.29kg/m3 and g=9.8m/s2 .assume that both do not change with altitude .how high should the atmosphere extend?

Answered by admin @



Use formula, P=\rho gh

where P is atmospheric pressure,

\rho is density of atmosphere.

g is acceleration due to gravity.

here given, \rho = 1.29 kg/m³ ,P = 1.013 × 10^5 N/m² and g = 9.8 m/s²

h = P/\rhog = 1.013 × 10^5/(1.29 × 9.8)

≈ 8013 km

hence, atmosphere extended 8013km high from the sea level.
