Question

1. In the \"confined valley\" example, mass of air = $\rho V$ where $\rho$ is assumed to be constant. Show how you could calculate the mass of air if $\rho \neq$ constant. 2. The atmospheric pressures measured at the base of Mount Kinabalu and at its peak are 1013 mbar and 622 mbar respectively. What is the height of Mount Kinabalu? What

In the confined valley example, the mass of air is given by m = pV, where p is assumed to be constant. Show how you could calculate the mass of air if p is constant. The atmospheric pressures measured at the base of Mount Kinabalu and at its peak are 1013 mbar and 622 mbar respectively. What is the height of Mount Kinabalu? What is the height of Mount Kinabalu?
