Question
How much force (in N) is exerted on one side of an 32.4 cm by 45.8 cm sheet of paper by the atmosphere?
X N
How can the paper withstand such a force?
The paper can withstand this force because the atmosphere exerts an equal force on the surface of the other side of the paper in the opposite direction.
The paper can withstand this force because its surface area is much smaller than that of the surrounding atmosphere.
The paper can withstand this force because its density is much higher than that of the surrounding atmosphere.
The paper can withstand this force because the atmosphere can only exert force on the surface of one side of the paper.
