Solution Summary

In this solution, we calculate the weight of air contained within a room of a given size based on a given atmospheric pressure and temperature.

Solution Preview

We need to know volume and density in order to figure out the mass, and therefore the weight.

Density of air at pressure and temperature mentioned: is 0.076474 ...
