Potential Energy of the Atmosphere

Click For 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 'Coulomb's force vs the Lorentz force'

Beams of electrons and protons move parallel to each other in the same direction. They ______. a. attract each other. b. repel each other. c. neither attract nor repel. d. the force of attraction or repulsion depends upon the speed of the beams. This is a previous-year-question of CBSE Board 2023. The answer key marks (b) as the right option. I want to know why we are ignoring Coulomb's force?
