A model for the density "d" of the earth's atmosphere near the surface is d = 619,09 − 0,000097r Where "r" (centre of the earth distance) is in meters y "d" is in kg/m^3 (kilogram per cubic meter). If we take the surface of the earth as an esphere with radius 6 370 km, then this model is reasonable for 6,370 × 106 ≤ r ≤ 6,375 × 106. Use this model to estimate the mass of the atmosphere between the ground and an altitude of 5km.
