State two experiences that made you think that air exerts pressure.
How is the barometric height of a simple barometer affected if Its tube is slightly tilted from vertical?
At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 1.04 x 105 Pa. Assuming g = 10 m s-2 and density of air to be uniform and equal to 1.3 kg m-3, find the height of the atmosphere.
At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of Hg. If air pressure falls by 10 mm of Hg per 120m of ascent, what is the height of a hill where the barometer reads 70 cm Hg. State the assumption made by you.

Give reasons for the following:
Temperature and pressure are inversely related to one another.
