Question:

A crude model for the molecular distribution of atmospheric gases above the Earth€™s surface (denoted by height, h) can be obtained by considering the potential energy due to gravity:

-mgh P(h) = e e kt

In this expression m is the per-particle mass of the gas, g is the acceleration due to gravity, k is a constant equal to 1.38 × 10ˆ’23 J Kˆ’1, and T is temperature. Determine h for methane (CH4) using this distribution function.

Distribution
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
