Calculate the force of atmospheric pressure on the roof of a 100 m2 house. Atmospheric pressure is normal.

Initial data: S (roof area of the house) = 100 m2.

Reference values: Р (normal atmospheric pressure, 0 ºС) = 101325 Pa.

The force of atmospheric pressure on the roof of the house can be expressed from the formula: P = F / S, whence F = P * S.

Let’s calculate: F = 101325 * 100 = 10132500 N ≈ 10.1 MN.

Answer: The force of atmospheric pressure on the roof of the house is 10.1 MN.
