#3. a) Consider a tall building; let's assume a height of 1200ft. Is atmospheric pressure significantly less at the top of the building than at the bottom? Use the barometric distribution law (assumes no temperature difference between top and bottom of the building) to calculate the ratio of pressures p(top)/p(bottom). For simplicity, assume a nitrogen atmosphere, and 298K.
b) Now, repeat the calculation, but comparing sea level to Mt. Everest (assume 28,000 feet).(This calculation is rather approximate, because in reality, T is 25% lower on top, but we will ignore that).
