QUESIION Assuming the density of air to be $1.295 kg m ^{-3}$, find the fall in barometric height in mm of Hg at a height of 107 m above the sea level. Take density of mercury $=13.6 \times 10^3 kg m ^{-3}$.

 At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is $1.04 \times 10^5$ Pa. Assuming $g =10 m s ^{-2}$ and density of air to be uniform and equal to 1.3 $kg m ^{-3}$, find the height of the atmosphere.

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of Hg. If air pressure falls by 10 mm of Hg per 120m of ascent, what is the height of a hill where the barometer reads 70 cm Hg. State the assumption made by you.
