With a mass of 60 kg and a height of 1.6 m, the surface area of the human body is approximately 1.6 m2.

With a mass of 60 kg and a height of 1.6 m, the surface area of the human body is approximately 1.6 m2. Calculate the force with which the atmosphere presses on a person (at normal atmospheric pressure).

Given:
S = 1.6 m2; P = 101300 Pa
Find: F -?
Let’s use the pressure formula known to us: P = F / S
F = S * P = 1.6-101300 = 162080 N = 162 kN
Answer: F = 162 kN
