The density of air in atmoshpere decreases with height and can be expressed by the relaton `rho = rho_0e^(-alphah` where `rho_0` is the density at sea level , `alpha` is a constant and h is the height, Calculate the atmospheric pressure at sea level. Assume g to be constatn. The numerical values of constants are : `g = 9.8 ms^-2 , rho_0 = 1.3 kg m^-3 , alpha = 1.2 xx 10^-4 m^-1`

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.
