A model for the density of the earths atmosphere near its surface is = 619.09
Question:
A model for the density δ of the earth’s atmosphere near its surface is
δ = 619.09 − 0.000097ρ
where ρ (the distance from the center of the earth) is measured in meters and δ is measured in kilograms per cubic meter. If we take the surface of the earth to be a sphere with radius 6370 km, then this model is a reasonable one for 6.370 × 106 ≤ ρ ≤ 6.375 × 106. Use this model to estimate the mass of the atmosphere between the ground and an altitude of 5 km.
