The variation of pressure within the biosphere affects notonly living thigs but also systems such as aircraft and underseaexploration vehicles. a) Plot the variation of atmospheric pressure, in atm, versuselevation z above sea level, in km, ranging from 0 to 10km. Assume that the specific volume of the atmosphere, inm3/kg, varies with the local pressure p, in kPa,according to v = 72.435/p. b) Plot the variation of pressure, in atm, versus depth zbelow sea level, in km, ranging from 0 to 2 km. Assume thatthe specific volume of seawater is constant, v = 0.956 X10-3 m3/kg. In each case, g = 9.81 m/s2 and the pressure at sealevel is 1 atm.
