Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, pascal is as shown below: 1Pa=1`N*m^(-2)`. If mass of air at sea level is `1034g*cm^(-2)`, calculate the pressure in pascal.

Explanation

Weight=mg
`therefore` Pressure=weight per unit area`=(1034xx9.8m*s^(-2))/(cm^(2))`
`=(1034gxx9.8m*s^(-2))/(cm^(2))xx(1kg)/(1000g)xx(100cmxx100cm)/(1mxx1m)xx(1N)/(kg*m*s^(-2))xx(1Pa)/(1N*m^(-2))`
`=1.01332xx10^(5)Pa`
