Derive the "Dry adiabatic lapse rate" (Γd) for Jupiter. g=24.79 m/s2. You may ignore the slight offset to gravity casued by the rotation of the planet, and becuase Jupiter's atmosphere is dominated by H2, you may assume it behaves as a diatomic gas. (compsition of Jupiter's atmosphere below) Express your answer in K/km.
