Using the formula P = ρgh, calculate the air pressure if the density of air at 3000 meters is 1.125 kg/m³ and g is 9.81 m/s².
💡 Hint: Apply the given values directly into the formula.
If the air pressure at 2000 meters is 24000 Pa, what would the atmospheric pressure be at sea level? Discuss how you would arrive at that conclusion.
💡 Hint: Consider the known values of pressure at awareness levels.
