Question 13

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.

Answer

Pressure is defined as force acting per unit area of the surface.

 

 

= 1.01332 × 105 kg m–1s–2

 

We know,

 

1 N = 1 kg ms–2  Then,

 

1 Pa = 1 Nm–2 = 1 kg m–2s–2

 

1 Pa = 1 kg m–1s–2 

 

1 Pressure = 1.01332 × 105 Pa
