The atmosphere of Jupiter is essentially made up of hydrogen, H 2. For H 2 , the specific gas constant is 4157 J/(kg)(K). The acceleration of gravity of Jupiter is 24.9 m/s 2. Assuming an isothermal atmosphere with a temperature of 150 K and assuming that Jupiter has a definable surface, calculate the altitude above that surface where the pressure is one-half the surface pressure.
