The force with which normal atmospheric pressure acts on the surface of a table with an area of 2m ^ 2 is

s = 2 m2 (square meters) – table surface area;

P = 101325 Pascal – atmospheric pressure (under normal conditions).

It is required to determine F (Newton) – the force with which the atmosphere acts on the table surface.

To determine the strength, you need to use the following formula:

P = F / s, from here we find that:

F = P * s;

F = 101325 * 2 = 202650 Newton (approximately 202.6 kN).

Answer: the atmosphere acts on the surface of the table with a force equal to 202,650 Newtons (approximately 202.6 kN).
