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.
Explain briefly the factors that affect Atmospheric Pressure.
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 76 cm of mercury. Calculate the vertical height of the air column exerting the above pressure. Assume the density of air 1.29 kgm−3 and that of mercury is 13600 kgm−3. Why the height calculated by you is far less than the actual height of the atmosphere?
