The pressure is as given is force per unit area of the surface.

 Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}

Given to calculate the pressure exerted by the air on sea water, if the mass of air at sea level is 1034\ g\ cm^{-2}.

The force with which the air is exerting on the surface is:

= \frac{1034g\times9.8ms^{-2}}{cm^2}\times\frac{1kg}{1000g}\times\frac{100cm}{1m} = 1.01332\times10^5\ N

Now,

as 1 Pascal = 1N\ m^{-2}

Therefore, 1.01332\times10^5N\timesm^{-2} = 1.01332\times10^{5}\ Pa
