Problem 19PE

How much force is exerted on one side of an 8.50 cm by 11.0 cm sheet of paper by the atmosphere? How can the paper withstand such a force?

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 6 If pressure and that act on the certain area are known; take the product of pressure and area to find the quantity of force exerted on that area. Step 2 of 6 Refers to the table 11.1 provided in the textbook. Formula to find the pressure is, Here is pressure, is force applied and is area perpendicular to the force. Step 3 of 6 Area of rectangular paper is,
