Question: if the relationship between pressure and density were that for...

Question details

If the relationship between pressure and density were that for isentropic changes (i.e. reversible and adiabatic) p /γ = constant, show that the
pressure at altitude H can be written as;

$p = p_{sl}(1 - ((gamma - 1)/gamma )*((gH)/(RT_{sl}))^{gamma /(gamma -1)}$
Plot a few values of pressure, density and temperature on graph below, the International Standard Atmosphere.
