The diagram below shows the relationship between the volume v of a gas in a constant pressure gas thermometer and the corresponding temperature on an arbitrary T scale, calibrated in ° P A) Determine the thermometric function for that device

B) Determine the temperature indicated by the device in ° P, when the gas volume is 1440ml

C) For a temperature of 1350 ° P, determine the new gas volume

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
