    Calculate where the top of the atmosphere would be.

    1. The weight of the atmosphere above 1 square meter of Earth's surface is about 100,000 N. Density, of course, decreases with altitude, but suppose the density of air were a constant 1.2 kg/m^3. Calculate where the top of the atmosphere would be. - weight = 100,000 N (or 10197.16 kg) - density...
