Chapter 3, Problem 38P
If the temperature in the atmosphere is assumed to vary linearly with altitude so T = To − αz where To is the sea level temperature and α = −dT/dz is the temperature lapse rate, find p(z) when air is taken to be a perfect gas. Give the answer in terms of po, α, g, R and z only.
