1.	Pressure is determined as force per unit area of the surface. The SI unit of pressure, pascal is as shownbelow : 1Pa = 1N m^(-2) If mass of air at sea level is 1034 g cm^(-2), calculate the pressure in pascal.
Answer» Solution :Pressure MEANS force or weight PER area. `P=("Force")/("Area")=(1034g XX 9.8ms^(-2))/(cm^(2))` `=(1034 kg xx 100 xx 100 xx9.8 ms^(-2))/(1000m^(2))` `= 101332.0Nm^(-2) = 1.01332 xx 10^(5)Pa`
