Assume that the top of your head has a surface area of 25 cm x 25 cm. How many newtons of force push on your head at sea level? If you estimate this area to be 100 in2, what is the force in pounds?

A. The force required to push your head at sea level is 6332.8125 N

B. The force in pound is 1469.59 lb

A. Determination of the force required at sea level.

Pressure (P) = 101325 Nm²

Area (A) = 25 cm × 25 cm = 0.25 m × 0.25 m = 0.0625 m²

P = F / A

Cross multiply

F = PA

F = 101325 × 0.0625

Therefore, the force required to push your head at sea level is 6332.8125 N

B. Determination of the force in pounds

Area (A) = 100 in²

Pressure (P) = 14.6959 pound / in²

F = PA

F = 14.6959 × 100

(a) 6332.812 N (b) 1469.59  pounds.

Explanation:

Given that,

The surface area of the top of yu head is 25 cm x 25 cm

Area = 625 cm² = 0.0625 m²

Atmospheric pressure on it is 101325 Pa.

(a) Pressure acting on an object is given by force acting per unit area. It can be written as :

6332.812 N of force is acting on your head at sea level.

(b) If area, A = 100 in²

We know that,

1 atm = 14.6959 pounds/in²

So, the force is 1469.59  pounds.
