Atmospheric pressure at aheight of about 6km decreases to nearly half

1.	Atmospheric pressure at aheight of about 6km decreases to nearly half of its value at the sealevel , though the height of the atmosphere is more than 100 km .
Answer» Solution :The variation of air density with height is non - linear. So, pressure also DEOS not REDUCE linearly h isgiven by `P=P_(0)e^(-alphah)` where `P_(0)` REPRESENT thepressureof air at sea level and `alpha` is a constant.
