Experimental data shows that the atmosphere of planet X is composed of pure carbon dioxide, with the pressure on ground level being 700 Pa. The temperature of the atmosphere is also found to decrease linearly with elevation, such that the temperature drops 10 degrees Celsius for every 5m elevation. With the help of the data and equations below, estimate the pressure 50m above ground level. Assume that the temperature at the surface of Planet X is (-60) degrees Celsius.  dp/p + gM/RT(dZ) = 0 for planet B, g =5.2m/s^2 N2 = 28 g/mol

Question
Experimental data shows that the atmosphere of planet X is composed of pure carbon dioxide, with the pressure on ground level being 700 Pa. The temperature of the atmosphere is also found to decrease linearly with elevation, such that the temperature drops 10 degrees Celsius for every 5m elevation. With the help of the data and equations below, estimate the pressure 50m above ground level. Assume that the temperature at the surface of Planet X is (-60) degrees Celsius. 
dp/p + gM/RT(dZ) = 0
for planet B, g =5.2m/s^2
N2 = 28 g/mol
