1.35 The variation of pressure within the biosphere affects not
only living things but also systems such as aircraft and under-
sea exploration vehicles.
(a) Plot the variation of atmospheric pressure, in atm, versus
elevation z above sea level, in km, ranging from 0 to 10 km.
Assume that the specific volume of the atmosphere, in
m²/kg, varies with the local pressure p, in kPa, according
to v = 72.435/p.
(b) Plot the variation of pressure, in atm, versus depth z be-
low sea level, in km, ranging from 0 to 2 km. Assume that
the specific volume of seawater is constant, v = 0.956 ×
103 m²/kg.
In each case, g = 9.81 m/s² and the pressure at sea level is
1 atm.
