Potential Energy of the Atmosphere

AI Thread Summary
Using the hydrostatic relationship to express density (rho) and height (z) in terms of pressure (p) may not be effective for solving the question. Familiarity with the ideal gas law is suggested as a more useful approach. The discussion emphasizes the importance of providing more context and effort in queries, as per forum guidelines. Participants are encouraged to engage more deeply with the problem rather than simply stating difficulties. Overall, a more thorough understanding of relevant principles is necessary for progress.

Summary:: I have been trying to do this question for a while using the hydrostatic relationship to put rho and z in terms of p, however, I can not seem to end up with an answer. Can anyone suggest where to start.

The question is as follows:

might not be so useful. Do you know about the ideal gas law ?

btw: PF rules ask a bit more from you than just 'can't find an answer' ... :frown:

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
