Q. Evangelista Torricelli was the first to put forward the idea that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. (i) Given the value of the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth, and the fact that there is zero pressure in the vacuum of space, determine the depth of the atmosphere, assuming that the density of air and the acceleration of gravity are constant. (2) According to this model, what is atmospheric pressure at the summit of Mt. Everest, 29,035 ft above sea level?
