Solved Problem: Hydrostatic Calculation of the Mass of Earth's Atmosphere

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 2: A solved problem of calculating the mass of all the air in the Earth's atmosphere using basic hydrostatic principles: Pressure is caused by the weight of the air above the Earth's surface.
This problem has been reposted without a detailed discussion of the theory because many students are only seeking solved problems. This example was recently a midterm exam problem (for one of the other instructors) in this course.
