  • Calculating Atmospheric Pressure: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the pressure:

    Understanding Pressure

    Pressure is defined as force applied per unit area. The formula is:

    * Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)

    Applying the Information

    * Force (F): 124500 N

    * Area (A): 1.5 m²

    Calculation

    * Pressure (P) = 124500 N / 1.5 m² = 83000 Pa

    Answer

    The pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere on the kitchen table is 83000 Pascals (Pa).
