Homework Statement
Calculate the pressure of the atmosphere (with approximately plane parallel slab ge-
ometry) as a function of height z above the ground. Assume the gas in the atmosphere has
constant temperature T and that the equation of state is that of an ideal gas, namely
where p and denote the pressure an density of the gas, respectively. Here kb is Boltzman's
constant and is the mean molecular weight of the gas which we take to be constant
everywhere.
