Evangelista Torricelli, one of the first to discover atmospheric pressure, once said, "We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of the element air." The Earth's gravitational field is pulling ...
Each kg of mass is pulled down by the Earth with a force of 10 N. We can then calculate pressure using: pressure = force ÷ area. If you stand on one foot (rather than both feet), the pressure ...
