p(h) = (p0e)-(mgh/kT)
where p0 is the atmosphere at sea level, m is the mass of an object at height h, g is the gravitational proportionality constant...
is there a specific name for this equation? is this derived from the Boltzmann’s distribution law? Also, I'm really confused about what e is... Thank you!
