Problem

Let a molarity (the number of moles in the unit volume) at height zz be ρ(z)\rho(z), the equation of state is p(z)=ρ(z)RTp(z)=\rho(z) R T. Let the base area of the container be AA, and consider the balance of forces acting on the gas inside the infinitesimal region A⋅ΔzA \cdot \Delta z. Derive the expression for pressure p(z)p(z) at height zz in terms of p0p_{0}, μ\mu, gg, RR, and TT.
