We know that the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the earth is because of weight, of the air. The radius of the earth is 6400 km and atmospheric pressure on the sruface of earth is `1xx10^(5) N//m^(2)`. Estimate the mass of the earth's atmosphere assuming that acceleration due to gravity remains constant at `10m//s^(2)` over the entrie height of the atmospehre.
