A kilogram is a unit of weight. So a kilogram of bricks would weigh the same as a kilogram of feathers despite if its in water or air since weight is determined by gravity in relation to mass and not what substance the object is in.
Answer
Pressure, P = 1 atm
air density, ρ = 1.3 kg/m³
a) height of the atmosphere when the density is constant
Pressure at sea level = 1 atm = 101300 Pa
we know
P = ρ g h


h = 7951.33 m
height of the atmosphere will be equal to 7951.33 m
b) when air density decreased linearly to zero.
at x = 0 air density = 0
at x= h ρ_l = ρ_sl
assuming density is zero at x - distance

now, Pressure at depth x


integrating both side


now,


h = 15902.67 m
height of the atmosphere is equal to 15902.67 m.
Answer:
K = 588.3 N/m
Explanation:
From a forces diagram, and knowing that for the maximum value of K, the crate will try to rebound back up (Friction force will point downward):
Fe - Ff - W*sin(22) = 0 Replacing Fe = K*X and then solving for X:

By conservation of energy:

Replacing our previous value for X and solving the equation for K, we get maximum value to prevent the crate from rebound:
K = 588.3 N/m
