AI Generated Solution

To solve the question about the atmospheric pressure at sea level and its equivalent in centimeters of mercury (cm Hg), follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Atmospheric Pressure**: Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a surface. At sea level, this pressure is standardized and measured in various units, including atmospheres (atm) and millimeters or centimeters of mercury (mm Hg or cm Hg). 2. **Know the Standard Value**: The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is defined as 1 atmosphere (1 atm). ...
