Assuming air as the perfect gas, find the density of air at an altitude of 10000 feet at which the pressure is 50225 Pa, assuming the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) weather conditions at sea level. (Under standard atmospheric conditions, the air pressure is 101325 Pa, its density is 1,225 kg / m3, its temperature is 15 0C. In every 1000 feet in the troposphere, the temperature drops by 2 K.)
