AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "On the surface of Earth, the atmospheric pressure is minimum at sea level" is true or false, we can analyze the concept of atmospheric pressure and how it varies with altitude. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Atmospheric Pressure**: Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air above a certain point. It is measured in units such as Pascals (Pa) or atmospheres (atm). **Hint**: Think about what atmospheric pressure means and how it is created by the weight of air. ...

Why is the atmospheric presure measured at sea level?

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.
