Imagine a giant dry-cleaner’s bag full of air at a temperature of
The temperature at the surface of Earth 10 km above the sea level.
Answer to Problem 50A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Distance
Initial temperature
Calculation:
Adiabatic compression would heat the confined air about a temperature
So, the temperature at 10 km is,
Now, if the giant bag at
Conclusion:
Hence, the temperature at the surface of Earth is
