6. The atmosphere of Jupiter is essentially made up of hydrogen, H. For Hydrogen, the specific gas constant is 4157 Joules/(kg)(K). The acceleration of gravity of Jupiter is 24.9 m/s. Assuming an isothermal (constant temperature) atmosphere with a temperature of 150 K, and assuming that Jupiter has a definable surface, calculate the altitude above that surface where the pressure is one- half the surface pressure. Find the Pressure ratio in a constant temperature atmosphere 6. The atmosphere of Jupiter is essentially made up of hydrogen, H. For Hydrogen, the specific gas constant is 4157 Joules/(kg)(K).
