The density of air in atomsphere decreas...

The density of air in atomsphere decreases with height and can be expressed by the relation.
`rho=rho_(0)e^(-Ah)`
Where `rho_(0)` is the density at sea-level, A is a constant and h is the height. Calculate the atmospheric pressure at sea -level. assume g to be constant.

It is known that density rho of air decreases with height y (in metres) as : rho = rho_(0) e^(-y//y_0) where rho_0 = 1.25 kg m^-3 is the density at sea level and y_0 is a constant. This density variation is called the law of atmospheres. Obtain this law assuming the temperature of atomoshpere remains constant (isothermal conditions). Also assume that the value of g remains constant.
