Define pressure. Give the $SI$ and $CGS$ unit of pressure.
(N/A) Pressure is defined as the force acting normally per unit area of a surface. Mathematically,it is expressed as $P = \frac{F}{A}$,where $P$ is pressure,$F$ is the normal force,and $A$ is the area.
The $SI$ unit of pressure is the Pascal $(Pa)$,which is equivalent to $1 \ N/m^2$.
The $CGS$ unit of pressure is the Barye $(Ba)$,which is equivalent to $1 \ dyne/cm^2$.

In which layer of the atmosphere is water vapour present?
$A$ cubical block of wood, of length $10 \,cm$, floats at the interface between oil of density $800 \,kg/m^3$ and water. The lower surface of the block is $1.5 \,cm$ below the interface. If the depth of water is $10 \,cm$ below the interface and oil is up to $10 \,cm$ above the interface, then the difference in pressure at the lower and the upper face of the wooden block is:
