Calculating temperature and pressure

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pressure and temperature at the top of a 100 km long insulated tube filled with an ideal gas, one must consider the effects of gravitational acceleration and the properties of the gas. The hydrostatic pressure equation can be applied, which states that pressure decreases with height in a fluid column due to gravity. Given the initial conditions of 20°C and 100 kPa at the bottom, the pressure at the top can be determined using the ideal gas law and the specific molecular mass of argon. The temperature may remain constant if the gas is ideal and the process is adiabatic, but further calculations are needed to confirm this. Accurate calculations will require integrating the effects of gravity over the height of the tube.

A 100 Km long tube of ideal gas (molecular mass equivalent to argon) is perfectly insulated from the outside environment. At the bottom of this tube, it is 20C with a pressure of 100 KPa. This tube is affected by the same 10 m/s^2 gravitational acceleration throughout.

I have no idea of how to calculate what the pressure and temperature is at the top of this long tube. Can anyone offer a formula and work out a solution based on the variables given?

I am not 100% sure, but perhaps this will help.

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
