How mush force is exerted on our body at atmospheric pressure ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The pressure exerted on area of `1cm^(2)` of earth surface is 1kgs . Average area of contact surface for human body is `2m^(2)`.Hence ,force exerted on whole body is `2xx10^(5)` N, but blood pressure in body is slightly higher than this pressure .So the pressure of armosphere is balanced .As a result, we cannot experienced this force.
