Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, Pascal is as shown below:

1Pa = 1N m–2


If mass of air at sea level is 1034 g cm–2, calculate the pressure in Pascal.

Given:


Pressure = Force/Area


=


= 1.01332×105 kg/m/s2


We know that,


1N = 1km/ s2


1 Pa = 1 kg/m-2/s2


= 1 kg/m-1/s2


Therefore, Pressure in Pascal =1.01322×105 Pa
