Why does a fountain pen leak at a high altitude?
The pressure inside the pen is more than the outside atmospheric pressure

The normal atmospheric pressure is __________
76 cm of Hg
10
Convert 1 mm of Hg into Pascal. Take density of Hg = 13.6 X 10^3 kg m^-3 and
g = 9.8 m/s^2
133.28 Pa
20
At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 1.04 X 10^5 Pa. Assuming g = 10 m/s^2 and density of air to be uniform and equal to 1.3 kg m^-3. Find the height of the atmosphere.
