Calculate the atmospheric pressure , if the height of mercury column in a barometer is 760 mm

Atmospheric pressure exerted on earth is due to :

Deoes the atmospheric pressure vary with the height above the earth's surface?

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.

(a) Assume the atmosphere as an ideal gas in static equilibrium at constant temperature T0. The pressure on the ground surface is P0. The molar mass of the atmosphere is M. Calculate the atmospheric pressure at height h above the ground. (b) To be more realistic, let as assume that the temperature in the troposphere (lower part of the atmosphere) decreases with height as shown in the figure. Now calculate the atmospheric pressure at a height h0 above the ground.

The atmospheric pressure and height of barometer column is 10^(5)P_(e) and 760 mm respectively on the earth surface. If the barometer is taken to the moon then column height will be-

Assume that the temperature remains essentially constant in the upper parts of the atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure varies with height as. (the mean molecular weight of air is M, where P_(0)= atmospheric pressure at ground reference)

Match following layers of our atmosphere with approximate maximum height from earth's surface.
