What is Atmospheric Pressure ?
In simple words , atmospheric pressure is non other than a pressure exerted by atmosphere.
The atmosphere , in which we are surrounded with , extends upto a height of 300km. It is filled with various gases. The pressure exerted by these atmospheric gases surrounding is called atmospheric pressure.
Factors determining the horizontal distribution of pressure are :
• Thrust
• Wind
• Temperature
• Force
• Season
• Volume
☞The atmospheric pressure is expressed in units of atmosphere , written as "atm".
☞ Formula for measuring atmospheric pressure = p = hdg. Here, p = pressure. h = height of the column. d = density of mercury. g = gravitation , usually taken as (9.8 m/s^2)
☞ There are other units too , which are used to measure atmospheric pressure. They are 'torr' and 'bar'.
☞ 1 torr is denoted as 1mm of Hg.
☞ whereas , 1 bar is denoted as 10^5 Pa.
And also ,
☞ 1 atm = 1.013 bar.
Now , let's learn about some devices used to measure atmospheric pressure.
1. Torricellian Barometer.
2. Fortune barometer.
3. Aneroid Barometer.
