On some surface, the atmosphere acts with a force of 4052N. What is the area of this surface if the atmospheric

As we know from the school physics course, the surface area on which pressure is exerted with a certain force can be calculated using the following formula:

S = F / p, where F is the very force with which the pressure is exerted, and p is, in fact, the pressure value.

Let us determine what is the surface area on which the atmosphere acts with a force of 4052 N, when it is known from the condition that the pressure is 101.3 kPa:

101.3 kPa = 101300 Pa;

4052: 101300 = 0.04.

Answer: 0.04 m2.
