Atmospheric pressure on Earth at its surface is 101 KPa (101 kilopascals or 101,000 N/m2). Which of these statements is true? If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will still be more than 1010 (10 billion) atoms per cm3 in the container. If we pump out the gas in a closed container leaving only 1 billionth of the original gas there will be fewer than 100 atoms per m3 in the container. When we reduce the pressure in the container while keeping the temperature constant, the number of atoms per m3 must stay constant. At 1 atmosphere, the number of atoms/m3 in air at room temperature is about 109, one billion atoms.
Consider a hypothetical atmosphere consisting only of helium (mass = 4 amu) and argon (m = 40 amu). At ground level, the density ratio of the two gases is nHe/ nAr 3.0\times 10-4. At an altitude of 155 km, the density ratio is found to be nHe/nAr = 1.0\times 10-3.

(1) Hydrostatic balance states Op Əz Equation -1 where p is pressure, z is altitude, p is density and g is the acceleration due to gravity. It can be shown that the reciprocal of hydrostatic balance also applies. That is Equation -2 дz Әр = -Pg, = 1 pg Use the ideal gas law (p = pRT, where R is the gas constant for dry air and Tis temperature) to eliminate p from (2). (2) Under geostrophic balance, the following balance is approximately satisfied Equation -3 fu=-g ¹ (3) where f is the Coriolis parameter, u is the zonal wind, y is meridional distance and z is altitude. (Note that the derivative on the right hand side is taken at constant pressure.) Differentiate (3) with respect to p, and use your expression from part 1 to obtain an expression relating du/ap and T/ay. This expression is called "thermal wind balance".
A cylinder of diameter S, of height h, contains pure gas with equation PV = nRT at constant temperature T_0. The z axis is directed upwards and the gravitational field is assumed to be uniform. 1) Using the fundamental principle of hydrostatic statistics, show that dp = -pgdz where p = p (z) is the gas pressure at height z. 2) If P_0 is the gas pressure at the foot of the pole, calculate the pressure p (z) at height z. 3) In the case of wind (M = 29 g / mol: R = 8.31J/ mol.k) at temperature T_0 = 300K, calculate the height of the poles necessary to observe the change in pressure (pressure at the threshold) at 5% .
