Question

Find the thrust acting on the human body due to atmospheric pressure. Take the surface area of a man of middle size to be 1.5m2 and atmospheric pressure (1atm) =1.013×105 Pa.

Answer 1

$\textbf{\red{SOLUTION:}}$

$Thrust = pressure \times area \\ \\ Thrust = 1.013 \times {10}^{5} \times 1.5 \\ \\ Thrust = 1.518 \times {10}^{5} \: newton$
