[QUOTE="Littlemac, post: 5478143, member: 594662"] [B]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 = 1.2 kg/m^3[/B] [B]2. Convert the weight from N to kg then divide that answer (10197.16 kg) by the density (1.2 kg) to achieve the answer. Which comes out to 8497.63 m? (this is where I am having problems. I do not know which equation to use.)[/B] [/QUOTE]
