Atmospheric Pressure

Written by Jerry Ratzlaff on 12 January 2016. Posted in Classical Mechanics

Atmospheric pressure, abbreviated as \(p_a\), is the pressure exerted upon the earth's surface by the air because of the gravitational attraction of the earth.  Standard atmosphere pressure at sea level is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi).  Measured with a barometer.
