R is the specific gas constant = 287.053 J/(kg K) T is the absolute temperature in kelvins = 288.15 K at sea level, g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.806 65 m/s 2 at sea level, P is the pressure at a given point at elevation z in Pascals, and; P 0 is pressure at the reference point = 101,325 Pa at sea level.
The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. [2] The weight of the displaced fluid can be found mathematically. The mass of the displaced fluid can be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = ρV.
Bernoulli's principle is a key concept in fluid dynamics that relates pressure, density, speed and height. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a parcel of fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in either the pressure or the height above a datum. [1]:
The saturated vapor pressure over water in the temperature range of −100 °C to −50 °C is only extrapolated [Translator's note: Supercooled liquid water is not known to exist below −42 °C]. The values have various units (Pa, hPa or bar), which must be considered when reading them.
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa), which is equivalent to 1,013.25 millibars, [1] 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi. [2] The atm unit is roughly equivalent to the mean sea-level atmospheric pressure on Earth; that is, the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level is ...

This reflects the fact that, at extremely high temperatures and pressures, the liquid and gaseous phases become indistinguishable, [3] in what is known as a supercritical fluid. In water, the critical point occurs at around T c = 647.096 K (373.946 °C), p c = 22.064 MPa (217.75 atm) and ρ c = 356 kg/m 3. [4]
