The temperature of atmosphere is not always constant and can increase or decrease with height. In a neutral atmosphere, where there is a significant amount of vertical mixing, the temperature decreases at a of approximately 6.5 K per km.

Assume that be surface pressure is p0=1.013105Pa where T=293K and the lapse rate is (I=6.5Kkm) . Estimate the pressure 3.0 km above the surface of Earth.
Considering the magnitude of typical arterial blood pressures, why are mercury rather than water manometers used for these measurements?
The density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 at sea level. From your knowledge of air pressure at ground level, estimate the height of the atmosphere. As a simplifying assumption, take the atmosphere to be of uniform density up to some height, after which the density rapidly falls to zero. (In reality, the density of the atmosphere decreases as we go up.) (This question is courtesy or Edward F. Redish. For more questions of this type, see http://www.physics.umd.edu/perg/.)
