Atmospheric pressure
The atmospheric air exerts a normal pressure upon all
surfaces with which it is in contact, and it is known as
atmospheric pressure.

General Example
The Figure shows a fuel gauge, for a gasoline
Tank in car, which reads proportional to the bottom
Gauge. The tank is 30 cm deep and accidentally
Contains1.8 cm of water in addition to the gasoline
Determine The height of air remaining at the top
when the gauge Erroneously reads full
w gasoline = 6.65 kN/m2 , w air = 0.0118 kN/m2
