Homework Statement What exactly is it? How would I find it for Mars? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution
Pythagorean Science Advisor Messages 4,430 Reaction score 327 Sep 5, 2008 #2 well, there's not a lot of information given here, does this assume an ideal, monatomic gas for the atmosphere? It sounds like it might make use of this equation: dP = -pg dz where P is pressure, p is density, g is gravity and z is height.
