Question

Why we are not crushed under the weight of our head?

Answer 1

Answer: As a fluid, air flows around you and tries to crush you in. Fortunately, there is typically just as much pressure inside your body pressing outward as there is air pressure outside your body pushing inward. They typically cancel out, meaning that there is no overall force on you and you don't get crushed.The pressure inside our body is almost equal to the atmospheric pressure around us. That is, the atmospheric pressure exerted by the air outside the body is balanced by the internal pressure of our body. Hence, our body does not get crushed.

Answer 2

Answer:

HEY!

The pressure inside our body is almost equal to the atmospheric pressure around us. That is, the atmospheric pressure exerted by the air outside the body is balanced by the internal pressure of our body. Hence, our body does not get crushed.
