Explain the long-term effects of overloading an aircraft.

Structural damage? Not sure what you're going for here.

I think some of the long-term effects of overloading an airplane include increased brake wear due to the longer ground rolls, increased fuel consumption, etc.

I don't think we're telling it sea-level pressure, rather the pressure at the surface in the area where the airplane is flying.
