Atmospheric Pressure in Rocket Propulsion Formulas

Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure, is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the Earth’s atmosphere above a given point. And is denoted by p₃. Atmospheric Pressure is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Atmospheric Pressure is always positive.
