The height at which the atmosphere cases to exist is about 80km. If the atmospheric pressure on the ground level is 760mmHg, the pressure at a height of 20km above the ground level is
(ρm = 13.6g/cm\(^3\) ρ = 0.00013g/cm\(^3\) )
A
380mmHg
B
570mmHg
C
190mmHg
D
480mmHg
correct option: b
ρ\(_m\)h\(_m\) = ρ\(_a\)h\(_a\)
13.68(760 - p) × 10\(^{-3}\) = 13 × 10\(^{-5}\)(20 × 10\(^3\))
| 760 | - | p | = | 13 × 10\(^{-5}\) × 20 × 10\(^{3}\)
13.68 × 10\(^{-3}\) |
= | 19.00 | × | 10\(^{1}\) |
760 - p = 190
p = 760 - 190
p = 570mmHg
