Answer:

Weight of air per unit area is pressure due to atmosphere. So here correct answer is Weight

Explanation:

As we know that air pressure is given by

\(P = \frac{Force}{Area}\)

now we know that force here due to air is due to the weight of the air

so here in order to calculate the weight we will have

\(Weight = mg\)

\(Weight = \rho Ah g\)

here we know that

Ah = volume of air above the point where pressure is to be calculated

now from above formula we have

\(P = \frac{\rho AH g}{A} = \rho g h\)

so here we can say that pressure is due to weight of air
