Lol! I think you're right!

Hello, I saw a picture online and I'm trying to figure out what it means. Here is the photo. Can someone please decipher? It looks like it could have been been printed on a piece of fabric, maybe a T-shirt. Thanks in advance!

What I was thinking is using the equation Ï=pμ/RT. I am not sure if it applies here, but plugging it in yields dT/dz=-gp/RLÏ. The only problem is, I am not sure what p is... wouldn't it vary over time?

Ok, I did not differentiate the Clausius-Clapeyron equation last time... However, from there equating the two dp/dz's I got dT/dz=-μgT/L, which is the very first equation I received. I don't see how this can be correct. :// I apologize if I am asking bad questions, but I was given Ï and L...

Thanks, but I am still somewhat confused. If I plug p=p0e(-L/RT) into dP/dz=-μgp/RT, where is the dT in the dT/dz equation I'm told to find?

I apologize! I did mean to write dP/dz=-μgp/RT. This is a thermodynamics problem. The change in the boiling temperature of water is supposed to be represented by dT. Let me write the full problem out: Combine dP/dz=-μgp/RT and the vapor pressure to find the rate dT/dz for the change in...
