An ideal gas of molar mass M is contained in a tall vertical cylindrical vessel whose base area is * and height h. The temperature of the gas is T, its pressure on the bottom base is P0. Assuming the temperature and the free-fall acceleration g to be independent of the height, find the mass of gas in the vessel.

Form the Barometric formula, we have

Eq. (1) shows that density varies with height in the same manner as pressure. Let us consider the mass element of the gas contained in the column.
