Question:
In calculating the distribution of pressure within the atmosphere, we assumed that the acceleration due to gravity was independent of height in the atmosphere. Evaluate this assumption over the bottom 50 km of the atmosphere, making use of the fact that the acceleration due to gravity decays with the square of the distance from the center of the Earth. Express your answer in percent change of g from that at the base of the atmosphere.
