Atmosphere momentum

Recommended Posts

If we build cone or a pyramid with thick transperant sides from graphene for instance. And the cone has h = 10 km. And r = 50 km .and we put the cone over some big region . Does the earth atmosphere with its net momentum over sides of the cone give a push down our hipothetical cone or pyramid ?

Why transparent?

Graphene is only one atom thick, so doesn't fulfill your "thick transparent sides" statement.

What do you mean by push down? Put a downward force on the structure, topple, or what?

What do you mean by "net momentum"? The only thing that will push down is air pressure (balanced by pressure inside the pyramid). And why a pyramid?

Do you mean wind? Because for many cases we can treat the earth as if it's at rest. There is no net momentum of the atmosphere in that case, other than wind.
