Considering variation in air pressure (neglecting thermodynamic and humidity variations) and acceleration due to gravity with altitude as the only parameters, the air density as a function of altitude can be given as:- where is the altitude above mean sea level.
Given the following constants:-
= Air density at sea level [ ]
= Radius of Earth
= Acceleration due to gravity at earth's surface
= Bulk modulus of air (assumed constant),
Find in terms of these.
If your answer is where , ; enter ( ).
Bonus: Include humidity, temperature and other parameters.
Original :).
Also, do post a solution as I am still looking for an optimal solution to this problem.
