Altitude and air pressure.
Air temperature 10000 meters.
Cabin temperatures in airplanes flying at this altitude are comfortable because of air conditioners rather than heaters.
The temperature you have quoted is about 5 degrees in the celsius scale.
A standard atmosphere can be regarded as an average pressure temperature and air density for various altitudes.
Air thermophysical properties thermal properties of air density viscosity critical temperature and pressure triple point enthalpi and entropi thermal conductivity and diffusicity and more altitude above sea level and air pressure elevation above sea level in feet and meter with barometric and atmospheric pressure inches.
The density of air varies with pressure the ideal gas law and the altitude above sea level mean absolute pressure at sea level is approximately 760 mmhg 101 325 kpa kn m 2 with a variation is about 5.

The dry adiabatic lapse rate of the lower atmosphere relationship between temperature and height is about 10 celsius per 1000 meters.
To answer this question let s first examine a standard atmosphere.
For all practical calculations it is taken as two degrees celsius per 1000 ft.

The air barometer pressure varies with altitude as shown in the table below.
As a rule of thumb you can expect a drop of 0 0022 0 0023 lb cu ft 0 035 0 036 kg m per 1000 ft of altitude change.

A find the pressure at 10 000 m and b find the temperature of the air before the air conditioner cools it off.
Within the troposphere and amusing.
In the actual atmosphere the rate of variation in temperature could be erratic.
The air temperature at an altitude of 10 000 meters is a chilling 35ยบ c.
If you change the air temperature humidity or the altitude and hence the pressure the air density will change too.
