What is meant by the term ‘Atmospheric Pressure’?
उत्तर
Atmospheric Pressure refers to the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of the air above that surface. The pressure is expressed in millibars (mb) and measured with a mercury barometer. The average atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013.25 mb or 760 mm (the) height of the column of mercury in a barometer at sea level). Atmospheric Pressure decreases with height.
